Understanding the skewed way that media operates in Turkey, Hasan found the report somewhat humorous and tried to explain to the indoctrinated exactly why the report was so overtly biased in the way it presented facts.<\/p>
\u201cEveryone here is incredibly critical of the Turkish government,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m not showing you this to be like \u2018oh look at how bad they\u2019re fucking us over or whatever.\u201d<\/p>
Hasan didn\u2019t come across as offended at the way he was left out of the report, but instead, he said that he was presenting it to viewers as a way to help educate them.<\/p>
\u201cThe reason why I mention this is because it further proves how much of a grip the Turkish government has over its independent outlets,\u201d he said.<\/p>
According to Hasan, this is an example of how Turkish media censors any reporting of people that are critical of the Turkish government. Because Hasan is such an outspoken political commentator who isn\u2019t shy when delivering harsh words about Turkey\u2019s government, he claims media outlets in the country avoid any and all mention of him.<\/p>
