If it is not a joke, it is insulting
Lately I find myself saying this sentence to myself very frequently: If it is not a joke, it is insulting.
For example; on Monday, Prime Minister Erdoğan said that Turkey was freer than many EU member countries during his first ever interview for Al-Jazeera Turkey. If you are a person with absolutely no education and don’t know how to read and write and don’t have access to anyone who does, maybe you would think that everything is fine in Turkey. However, if you know that Turkey ranks in the last places in any kind of freedom of speech indexes you would say that if this is not a joke, it is insulting, like I did. Turkey ranked 138th in the Reporters Without Borders’ 2010 Annual Worldwide Press Freedom Index. In 2011-2012 Turkey ranked 148 out of 169 countries in the Reporters Without Borders list.
