On Tuesday, the press joined the protest against Morsi and his constitution.
In an extreme show of protest eleven newspapers didn't print, three TV stations went blank, and dozens of websites joined them.
Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians took to the streets, demanding Morsi resign.
They attempted to march on the government's buildings, only to be blocked by riot police.
Violent clashes began, as protesters threw rocks, bottles, and gas bombs while police fired tear gas and rubber bullets.
Other riot police were given the job of securing the Supreme Constitutional Court's building.
Those police had to fight their way through Morsi supporters, who had begun blocking the building, on Sunday, to keep the court from meeting, and looking over the new constitution.
Throughout Egypt supporters of either side fought each other, with fears of a civil war beginning.
Hundreds have been injured and a few killed during the violence.
