RE: 121. Today in 1920s Turkey: 7 November 1923 (One Chair Is Plenty, Mr. President)
Very interesting indeed. I think too much power to one person is dangerous because it prevents others from having a say. And this eventually leads to dictatorship.
I agree... there are definite dangers to concentrating power in one place. I also like how the magazine is attempting to keep other journalists and publications in check and calling them out for being too overly supportive. Division of power and an objective press are fundamental to a healthy civil society, in theory. Whether that can be achieved in practice is another sad story.
That's true. The media should be able to hold those in power to account and call them out when necessary. But like you said, it's not always the case especially as they fear repercussion.
Yes, the media has the potential to keep everyone honest, but since it, too, is powered by capital and regulated by the government once again the cards are stacked against the voiceless.
I couldn't agree more!
