Newsweek: Erdoğans runoff challenges Wests dictator narrative

The end result of the May 14 elections in Türkiye, the place President Erdoğan secured 49.52% of the votes and superior to the presidential runoff, has considerably disrupted the Western media’s anti-Erdoğan editorial coverage. US journal Newsweek just lately revealed an opinion piece criticizing Western newspapers for his or her use of derogatory phrases like “dictator” when referring to President Erdoğan. The article, titled “Don’t call Erdoğan a dictator, dictators won’t go to the runoffs,” highlights the continual use of such labels by Western media.
