#2His actual quote about news spreading through social media is near the middle of the article.
"There is now a menace which is called Twitter," Erdogan said. "The best examples of lies can be found there. To me, social media is the worst menace to society."

Right, well, how can we debate the voice of reason? He's right! The world is black and white. I hereby invoke Godwin's law to declare that anyone who orders police brutality against largely peaceful protesters is Hitler reincarnated.

#4True for some definitions of "society".
Like "entrenched group of ruling fascists", for example.

In the case of Erdogan you may not be that far off. Turkey is interesting country - the army there was the guardian of the secularism inherited from Kemal Ataturk.
That is almost dismantled by now with the involuntarily help of the EU. Erdogan came after free elections and after that Turkey is moving in some very dangerous waters. Add instability in Syria into the mix and the semi civil war with the Kurdish minority.

Very troubled waters indeed...
I spent quite a bit of time there in the late 90s; absolutely love the country and the people, despite almost getting blown up by the PKK.
After Erdogan came to power, I was wondering how long it would take the military to put him in check. They got pretty close a couple years back.
