Turkey shuts down 130 media outlets after failed military coup

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/07/27/turkey-shuts-down-130-media-outlets-after-failed-military-coup.html

 DEVELOPING: Turkey's government has decided to close down dozens of media outlets, including 45 newspapers and 16 television stations in the wake of a failed military coup, the country's state-run news agency reported Wednesday.

The Anadolu Agency also reported that close to 1,700 military officers have been formally discharged.

CNN Turk reported that 130 media organizations had been shuttered in a widening crackdown by Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government.

Earlier this week, the Ankara government issued detention warrants for 42 journalists suspected of links to the alleged coup plotters.

Close, but no perogi.

Ergodan is working on rebuilding the Ottoman Empire.  So far he's doing a pretty good job of being as brutal as the Ottomans.

What matters is how strong Erdogan looks. I mean, he put that coup down so fast. The only person that could put that coup down faster would be Trump. They look like such losers. Yuge losers. Yuge.
