From todays HDN:

"Social media users are unplugging and running for the hills after Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan disclosed that a nefarious “robot lobby” had sworn to liquidate his government and darken Turkey’s new dawn, touted as a beacon of hope for the wretched of the earth."

Clicky linky to have a laugh!

R2D2 IS INNOCENT!


Politicians may survive charges of incompetence, dishonesty and corruption but nothing undermines authority more than becoming a figure of fun. I get the impression that non-AKP newspapers are becoming bolder in their attacks on Erdogan - is that the case?

Yes, for a lot of the stuff they have to else they'd lose all credibility with their readership.  However, the ramifications of the ridicule, further down the line, may not yet be apparent.  Or maybe they know something we don't?
