“Scandalous Headlines: Erdogan Criticized by Western Media in Last Minute News”
As Turkey’s historic election approaches, the Western media has launched a campaign against President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, with scandalous covers and headlines being used by notable publications. From the BBC to The Economist, Le Monde to the Washington Post, almost all major media houses have expressed their opposition towards Erdoğan. The French magazine Le Point’s cover referred to Erdoğan as ‘the other Putin.’ The British The Economist used the headline ‘Erdogan Must Go’ with accompanying words ‘Save Democracy’ on their cover. Similarly, The Guardian published an article entitled ‘Erdogan’s earthquake,’ while the American The New York Times used the headline ‘Earthquake-resistant, not corruption-proof: Turkey’s unwanted deaths.’ These publications have drawn a strong reaction from Turkish leaders, who have called it a campaign against their country. Presidential Communications Director Fahrettin Altun criticized the Western media for their hostility towards Turkey and their efforts to target the nation’s will. Meanwhile, AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik referred to the Western media’s attempts to influence political processes in Turkey, saying that their comments against the President would have no impact on the country’s elections.
