Abstract
In modern Turkey under the leadership of the President Recep Tayyip Erdogan television stations and newspapers are being closed down under the pressure of the authorities; false information that about the opponents is disseminate daily and opposition to these practices is minimized through political sources and legal mechanisms. From this point of view, in Turkey inconvenient truths about the authorities are not published, instead of being mass media, the media have been turned into an instrument for promoting the government policies. In other words, Turkish media are very far from the universal standard of doing objective journalism, as big media toes a pro-government line and hide the shortcomings of the rulers.
