Changed line?
After Gulen-Soros attempted a coup in Turkey, all media stated as a FACT that the coup was faked by Erdogan. This was the only line.
This morning the line is switching. BBC is running a report right now, listening to actual Turks, that gets it right. Gulen is American. Opposition politicians are unhappy with Erdogan's popularity, but they were unhappy with Erdogan's popularity before the coup. That's why they're called opposition politicians.
CNN has also removed the "scare quotes" around the "coup" and now treats it as a real rebellion that needs a real response.
What's the difference? Are the media just following their Prophet Obama, who expressed firm support for Erdogan? But why did Our Lord And Savior Obama switch in the first place? Before this coup, all the Cool People were with Soros and absolutely opposed to Erdogan.
Later in the day: The change continues. Every article aggregated by Google now treats the coup as genuine, and treats Erdogan's response as necessary.
