Exactly right. So, where is the media reporting on this? (Crickets chirping)
CNBC actually reported on it with some accuracy.
Actually this story is about a week old. The Euros, Deutsche Welle, as well as Al Jazeera English have covered it pretty well. Since this story version the number of towns with anti gov’t protests has passed 90. And the park conversion part of the story is more serious than implied in most stories-—seems the folks caught dirty hands taking money to get zoning for a commercial mall where a local park is supposed to be and the Istanbuls don’t have very many parks already. If Erdogan doesn’t “snap to” it’s clear that Turkey is going to have its own “spring”. Especially if the Turkops keep gassing the peaceful protesters. Remember how well that worked out for the Egypts. And the Turks aren’t exactly un-armed. The PKK hasn’t gotten around to turning in all its firepower yet for example.
