Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with British, American and Bulgarian media coverage of the protests in Bulgaria, Turkey and Egypt happening at the same time in 2013. Although the protests are undoubtedly political events the analysis presents them only from a cognitive linguistic perspective trying to show the subjectivity of the media in reflecting these issues. The paper pretends to “interpret” the information in the most objective way by emphasizing on the different approaches of the media to one and the same event but by using various linguistic means.
