And if the Revolution is televised the broadcasters will be fined for doing so. Only cooking shows permitted. Why don't they fine all the police for all their destruction of property and violence towards people?
Quote:TV watchdog fines live streaming of Gezi protests for harming development of children, youth'
ISTANBUL - Hürriyet
The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÃœK) has fined a number of channels, including Halk TV, for "harming the physical, moral and mental development of children and young people" by broadcasting coverage of the Gezi Park protests.
Ulusal TV, Cem TV and EM TV were also among the fined networks.
Halk TV, in particular, has gained unexpected popularity over its 24-hour live streaming of events around Istanbul, at a time when many mainstream media outlets gave little coverage to the ongoing protests.
The channel had been previously warned by RTÃœK about a video clip the regulator deemed to be humiliating to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan. Although it does not have an organic link with the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), the station is known to have been financially supported by the CHP during the leadership of Deniz Baykal.
After being elected the new leader in May 2010, current CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlureportedly cut financial support to the channel, which is known for its antigovernment broadcasts.
