Sure, if you say so and if you believe it is relevant to the Arab spring uprisings.

It is relevant to your false statement: "Zero press means fewer massacres taking place."

Only if you want to be argumentative, given that my response was directed at Libya.

You have evidence that more massacres have taken place in Libya in recent days?

It matters not, the statement was utterly false.

Actually few true massacres have taken place in Libya. Troops firing on selected crowds and killing them hardly amounts to a massacre, an atrocity certainly. Unlike when the UN failed to act in Bosnia and a true massacre did occur. NATO had to step in without a UN mandate and get the job done when the EU should have dealt with the whole issue independently.
