RTÜK imposes fine on Sözcü TV over Özgür Özel coverage!
Sözcü TV has been fined 3 percent by RTÜK due to its reporting on the attack against CHP leader Özgür Özel.
CHP Chairman Özgür Özel was attacked while walking to his vehicle following the funeral ceremony attended by Deputy Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey Sırrı Süreyya Önder. Reporting on this incident, Sözcü TV was hit with 3 administrative fines by RTÜK on the grounds that it broadcast the news 'without ensuring its accuracy.' This decision by RTÜK was reached by a majority vote.
RTÜK based its penalty decision on its assessment that Sözcü TV's subtitle, which read 'Vehicle Was Not Allowed into Parking Lot, Attack Occurred While Walking to Vehicle,' constituted a definitive judgment and speculation.
