The purpose of this program was to explain Erdogan's ways to people and promote/show his side, it produced just the reverse reaction due to his callous comments. The one-sidedness of the Turkish TV stations is appalling: Altayli characterizes the protests as "mostly…

This is very easy to say. Politicians are just reflections of who we all are. And imho they have the hardest jobs on the planet today. There isn't a course on Khan Academy, that they can take, which tells them what to do when uncontrolled chain reactions are set off by Social networks. The results will always be messy.
