@esi_ee I guess my broader point is government labels all dissent as "terrorist" and pro-gov columnists think stuff they dislike is libel.

@esi_ee Turkey's structural problems: lack of rule of law, lack of independent media. Makes solving rest of issues much much harder.

@esi_ee Given court system's huge problems, suing someone (an anti-censorship activist) who wrote an article you dislike is a major threat.

@esi_ee She can, sure. That said, target is anti-censorship activist and she's kind of "journalist" who's allowed to interview the PM.

@esi_ee I guess, If one gets to interview the PM (in this climate), one gets held to standards of journalistic integrity & awareness.

@esi_ee (Though it was like almost all the "interviews" I've seen of government officials in Turkey by "journalists." Sycophantic.)

@esi_ee Real journalists have no access, apologist journalists have no courage (I guess they know the threat?) Very sad, what can I say.
