    Right. Remember when western media gave Gezi live coverage and we were labelled “terror propagandists”?https://twitter.com/anadoluagency/status/1071339341430046725 …

        There's a difference between coverage - and continously bombarding viewers with one sided criticism against the government, which very much resembles encouragement and/or approval of violent protestors, bordering on incitement.

        B sincere, ws Gezi coverage = 2 France protests? Where is the 24hr coverage by CNN, BBC? Western media calling Erdogan on frnt page a dictator, gezi ws like a walk in the park comparing 2 wts happening in France. So yeap, Turkish papers have the right 2 cover as they c fit.

        Probably because western media was too busy picking a side instead of doing neutral reporting during Gezi protests. You can see the same bias from western media when it comes to reporting news about Russia, Iran, Syria and etc. You guys are doing propaganda not neutral news.

        You're half right. There was a façade of democracy before Erdoğan and there remains a façade of democracy under Erdoğan. Turkey was founded as a military dictatorship and that engine is still there hidden under the bonnet.
