ISTANBUL - Hürriyet
The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÃœK) has fined a number of channels, including Halk TV, for "harming the physical, moral and mental development of children and young people" by broadcasting coverage of the Gezi Park protests.
Ulusal TV, Cem TV and EM TV were also among the fined networks.
Halk TV, in particular, has gained unexpected popularity over its 24-hour live streaming of events around Istanbul, at a time when many mainstream media outlets gave little coverage to the ongoing protests.
The channel had been previously warned by RTÃœK about a video clip the regulator deemed to be humiliating to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan. Although it does not have an organic link with the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), the station is known to have been financially supported by the CHP during the leadership of Deniz Baykal.
After being elected the new leader in May 2010, current CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlureportedly cut financial support to the channel, which is known for its antigovernment broadcasts.
Magda, Have you something against cooking shows?!
One has to go back a LOOOOOOOONG time to find a non-toxic Turkish government. But, they serve as the main Muslim proxies [along with Saudi Arabia] in helping the 'West' do what it wants with the World. It has also oppressed the Turkish People [even more so, some minorities within - from Armenians to Kurds, and others....]. Calling Sybil Edwards [would just love to hear what she has to say on all this....]
