This sounds so true of India as well. We have few media outlets that are unabashedly pro government and racist, and prominent among them(Republic TV) was in fact founded couple of years ago. Majority of mass regional language channels, including Hindi channels are controlled by pro government propagandists. While we do have a popular government at the center and by definition lot of folks in fact love these pro government propaganda, those in disagreement have no clue how to stand upto and win against these powerful power formation. They got the government, media, well funded social media teams that is few hundred thousand strong and sadly judiciary as well in their favor. They can twist and turn every facts to their convenience and feed the silent majority .

Though there has been a student and minority led protests against these of late, they are just not effective in combating these, with so much odds stacked against them. Honesty many are loosing hope. What in HN's collective wisdom is the way out for us, the nations like India, Turkey and others like us?
