CNN Turk criticized for cutting opposition mayor interview
2019-05-22
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] CNN’s Ottoman Turkish channel was criticized Tuesday after it cut short an interview with the opposition candidate for Istanbul mayor as he began to talk about the municipality’s "extravagant" spending.

Social media users lashed out at CNN Turk after it stopped Monday night’s interview with Ekrem Imamoglu of the Republican People’s Party (CHP) half an hour ahead of schedule.

One Twitter user @muratagirel suggested CNN Turk change the program’s name from "Unbiased Zone" to "Biased Zone".
How clever!
Imamoglu was dramatically stripped of his victory in March’s vote after the country’s top election body annulled the results over claims of "irregularities" and ordered a new election for June 23.

He is rarely given time on Ottoman Turkish screens, whereas President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey...
delivered almost daily televised speeches ahead of the March vote on behalf of ruling party candidate Binali Yildirim, a former prime minister.
