Fake News: Turkish reporter made up Jared Kushner quote praising Erdogan
2017-07-29
[IsraelTimes] A Ottoman Turkish news hound admitted that he fabricated a quote by Jared Kushner in which President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s son-in-law and adviser reportedly said Ottoman Turkish President Recep Erdogan "is making The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
great again like [the] US, we watch his efforts with appreciation."

Atalay has a history of exaggerating the Trump administration’s view of Erdogan and the Turkish government, according to The Daily Caller.
Yavuz Atalay, a news hound for the newspaper AKSAM, told The Daily Caller Thursday that he made up the quote.

In a private Twitter exchange with The Daily Caller, Atalay said he spoke with Kushner for less than two minutes.

"He did not say that," Atalay wrote of the quote in question. "I asked him, ’Do you think, Erdogan is making Turkey great again, like Trump?’ and he only said, ’Yeah, I think so.’"

A selfie with Kushner and the news hound accompanies the article.

A White House official told the Daily Caller that the journalist "approached Jared for a selfie but is not quoted accurately. It’s made up."
