Today, #Turkey's President declared his intention to kill all social media outlets, the last remaining platform for independent and critical journalism.
His gov't already shut down 187 media outlets, jailed 175 journalists & forced 168 into exile.

The arrest of Arif Aslan is in connection to jail sentence handed down by a court over forgery in official documentation, the VoA reporter's lawyer Cihat Durmaz said on Twitter.

From the beginning of the Ottoman Empire, there was never freedom of the press. It has not existed since the Founding of Modern Turkey after WWI. In the modern history of Turkey, the suppression of the press has never been as bad as it is today. Turkey has more journalists in prison than any other nation in the world. And they are still a NATO "ally"??
But...but.....Trump is even worse with journalists, just ask them.
A lot can happen in 2 weeks in a Turkish prison.
He might have thought it was okay due to his lineage. Aslan is a Turkish name.
“Turkey’s President declared his intention to kill all social media outlets”
Okay, so he’s not 100% bad ... sarc ... sort of ...
Those two have gone the way of the dodo bird. Now everything is anti President Trump. Anti White, Anti America. Pro Socialists, Pro Communists. Pro criminal Black. The decent hard working, law abiding Blacks,a/l/a, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Clarence, Ben Carson, Lt. Col.West are in the same category as the Whites.
The United States should be. They are nothing but America haters, traitors. and liars. But what they refuse to admit is that once the people they are trying to put in power gain power They will be faced in front of guys carrying rifles and told to watch the birdie. History attests to this.
I saw one of the ones forced into exile by Erdogan speak at a civic group 3-4 years ago, and show video of the government taking over their offices. It was quite eye-opening. He was lucky to get out of the country with his family.
