I can say seizure of former-ally current-enemy media in Turkey is not "worst ever" in Turkey's history. And true problem is whole ecology.

At the moment, you live in a whole different Turkey if you only watch mass media than you do if you use social media. Adds to polarization.

In the mass media world in Turkey, all countries seize media outlets, no big deal, and independent vote monitors are in truth terrorists.

So imagine what happens when independent vote monitors show up at the polls. I saw the hostility last time already; will be much worse now.

Independent vote monitors in Turkey are backed by great laws. But what will they face after being portrayed as "terrorists" in mass media?
