CNN Turkey kept broadcasting 24/7, albeit an empty studio. AFAIK, only the state TV station was actually shut down for any period of time. In a real coup you'd see the power cut to these TV studios, at a minimum.
We have contributors here who tell us that the CIA is interfering with their internet access, on a daily basis, for no apparent reason. And the NSA listens to us all, 24/7, according to Snowden.

I respectfully disagree. I couldn't tell you who is actually directing this particular farce, but I'd bet money on Erdogan.
