He doesn't know this probably, but he has spawned many parody accounts, launched memes and more on Turkish Twitter. What a world...
THEN, Turkish pro-gov't paper published photoshopped pic, claiming US prosecutor part of Gulenists planning a coup.pic.twitter.com/5xc4Osg91m
Theory: US prosecutor part of network planning coup against Turkish gov't? Evidence: crudely photoshopped pic. State of "news" in Turkey.
The paper did delete the photoshopped pic after original started circulating widely on social media. (You know, the menace to society).
Other thing in TR Twitter: people screencap. The deleted "news" tweet with the photoshopped pic of US prosecutor:pic.twitter.com/rML6iFG2ut
