Turkish T.Vs and “what they believe”

In Turkey there are no “objective” broadcasting on any television. They are just try to manipulate people in the way that their bosses wanted. A perfect example for this is the recent Tayyip Erdogan vs. Aydın Doğan debate. Doğan the chairman of Kanal D was showing all the dirty tricks of Erdogan on Kanal D when ATV that owned by a company that is close to Erdogan was showing Doğan’s. So It was like who likes Erdogan was watching ATV and who dislikes him was watching Kanal D. Unsurprisingly, no t.v channels in Turkey investigate the subject seriously and tried to figure out who was right objectively. Because of that now I don’t even remember what was debate about, I think it is what goverments and other powerful people want anyway they simply want you to believe something but they don’t want you to know anything.

what i like and dislike about media

First of all I must say that I don’t see any part of media as a reliable source to get information about any serious stuff, especially in Turkey they are just not even close of being one. Because whenever I see some news or any kind of information about a subject that i know very well, they are wrong!!.. They don’t even care to do enough research they are just filling the newspapers with some stuff they hearsay. Also you never able to see what is happening behind the scenes and I can’t trust some authors that will change their ideology as soon as their boss changed. In entertainment part, it is ok for me but i never take media serious as I said before..
