A liberális sajtó a Fidesz hangja Magyar Hírlap (konkrétan Máté T. Gyula) szerint:
"A korábban kiátkozott diktatórikus ankarai vezetés iránt most hirtelen roppant megértő lett a liberális média. [...] Amikor a nyugati sajtóba belelapozva immár Törökország lelkes »szerecsenmosdatását« tapasztalja az olvasó."

A szerkesztőség véleménye:
"If there was any doubt about why the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan seized the newspaper Zaman last week, consider this: Within 48 hours after the takeover, the paper began publishing pro-Erdogan propaganda... This crackdown is merely the latest of Mr. Erdogan’s increasingly authoritarian moves, which have included imprisoning critics, sidelining the military and reigniting war on Kurdish separatists. He now controls much of the media and has made Turkey a leader among countries that jail journalists. Along with his campaign to wipe out a free press, his government’s prosecutors have opened nearly 2,000 cases against Turks in the last 18 months for insulting Mr. Erdogan, which is a crime.
Turkey was once on track to be a model Muslim democracy, though it now seems unlikely that Mr. Erdogan ever believed in democratic principles. The fact that he is moving the country ever further from that path raises serious questions about whether Turkey can continue to be a trusted member of NATO, which was founded as a security alliance based on common values. It is unsettling that the United States and Europe have responded so meekly to Mr. Erdogan’s trampling of a free press."
