Tabloidization of the news media in Turkey

In the history, because of the oppressive government in Turkey, people can not write or tell their own rebellious ideas. Today I think it appears more different, but they have common purpose: prevent showing people the truth and prohibit enlightening the society. According to Bek in Turkey there is tabloidization and personalization of the news. In such television channels; Star TV, Show TV, ATV and Channel D do not give people unbiased information about the world. They insert their own, actually their owner's, opinions and they make critics about lots of social and political events. They do not search the historical or social background of the events. "This is happened, and they tell that.., and in our opinion this is for that.." Whole news was just like that. These commercial channels want to inform people together with entertainment. I like some programs in Cnn-Türk, because they want to show the reality in the world. But is it adequate just to have small account of puclic service channels. I think for a development of a country, there should be more free media to enlighten people. I do not like the tabloidization of politics or personalization of news, because they contain unnecessary and confusing information for people.
