They were fined because they were critical of government's response.

That's not a functioning media watchdog anymore - it's part of Pro-Erdogan propaganda.

This all about that election in May. It’s too late; the Turkish public knows who screwed up.

My Turkish friends, didn't Erdogan partially get elected way back when to improve the building codes after the 1999 election? So it appears, he took $$$, to look the other way?

This partially causing 41K deaths? True?

The news channels told the truth. He 'disappeared' billions in Earthquake Tax paid after that 1999 disaster, which was supposed to reinforce the infrastructure.

Blood on their hands, and they go after the media. Spineless

The citizens and government of Turkey must just feel dazed and full of fear. We can forgive them for pointing incorrectly pointed fingers indicating guilt and try and help them not accuse people who were just doing the best they could as well. Reporting such an enormous event must have been close to impossible, but one can understand the psyche which must prevail at this point: "Surely someone is to blame. How could this be?" Gentle help should protect the accusers from damaging innocent lives and protect the accused. No one. No one could have caused this.
