The actions of pro-government with the conflicts and statementsand for the sake ofthischanginginstructionsarebeinggivenwhile the subject was being discussed, CHP's Bahadır Erdem A striking assessment has been made.

The labels given have no valuetotheir own interestsorto contributetothe improvementof the situation thatitwillnotbeable tosustainErdem, who stated thathe made the followingposton social media:

"After the AKP's journalists received instructions this week from the office that directs them,in the articles they wrote, theyThey should stopthe hypocrisy and leave politicsto thepoliticians, they crossedthe line, etc., andsaid things likethat.

Because on the screens, their more royalist than the kingcharacters and the hostile broadcasts they made against the opposition andopponentscaused the AKP and MHP to lose votes.

The TV programs were not watched, but the lies they toldruthlessly and heartlessly fueled thehostility on social mediafueled it and served to divide society.

The instruction given to them was, infact, exactly that. And with the help of their own character, they have been fulfilling what was asked of them for a longtime.

However, itdid not work.

The new instruction is, come on now, return to the pre-election period with a newattitude.

Pretend to practice objective journalism,bring opposition figures or those who appearto be opposition onto the screens, stage debates as if you did before the 2023 elections, but in the end, always unconditionally and without reservationcontinue to serve not the country or your profession, but the ruling power.In short, those who sell their professionand character to the ruling power are the ones who

are now trying to lecture us.Those who sell their profession and character to the ruling power instead of their own intellect, conscience, and sense of justice will always remain the AKP's journalists."

After receiving instructions from the office that manages them this week, the AKP's journalists supposedly confessed their sins in the articles they wrote, claiming that politics should be left to politicians, that they had crossed the line, etc.
Because, with their 'more royalist than the king' personas on screen, they have been attacking the opposition and dissidents...
