Well, they're a US ally so they rather keep it out of the American discourse.

 

[*TURBONERD*]

It's incredibly disturbing how little it's being covered, honestly.

exactly,that is why our government does not want us to see them have a revolution because it would give the people of america ideas to revolt or protest there pal

Well, so much for Thanksgiving

He's merely explaining why you are seeing a lack of coverage, which is what you were complaining about. There are politics to this equation that you can't simply ignore. And that is why the internet is at your fingertips, plenty of coverage to be unearthed there. It's the same as Obama promising to recognize the Armenian genocide, but then never following through because of our political stance with Turkey. I'm Armenian and it bothers me, but I get the politics behind the bullshit. Pal.

sounds like you are arguing with yourself and why would i have made a thread about this if i knew nothing about it?

 

[TOAST.]

npr has been covering it i believe.

 

[volvotom]

Al Jazeera America couldn't come any sooner.

 

[GayWolf420]

Of course the American media isn't covering it. What else would you guys expect?

My sister and mom have been planning a trip to Turkey for the past couple months. A day or two before their departure, all of this turmoil arises. They still went, and are there now. From what they've conveyed, it's not complete unrest, but more so along the lines of civil disobedience. They said they've seen some life-threatening stuff so far but the majority of the uprisings have just been picketing citizens (similar to the occupy movements, although the police are using tear gas). The most violent situations have been caused by the police trying to tame screaming crowds.

In reality outside of turkey who actually gives a flying fuck
