Its fascinating to see PM Erdogan and the Fethullah Gulen movement having a fall out. This may have the potential to do damage to the PM. The BBC News has a brief report here. Another slightly more detailed report is here. And Euronews has a video report as well.

Merry Christmas everybody.
Praise the LORD.

If the situation can be related to poker, it looks like we have the entrance of a wild card.
One other thing, Joel, what do you think of the coverage of Sky News on the situation? I am profoundly wary of letting the BBC be the voice of Britain. Call it the aftermath of reading “Bias”, “Arrogance” and the other books by Bernard Goldberg.
Not sure David. I’m not familiar with Sky News’ coverage specifically.
Well, it looks like they are more open to directing attention, than the BBC, when something is not covered.
