I have an objection

“Filmed by George Orwell in 1984; In an order where Big Brother is all-powerful, no memory can withstand a rewritten past, realities based on old enmities, and new discourse. He gradually loses his power of judgment, and he becomes indistinguishable from right and wrong: 'The daily distortion of the past by the Ministry of Truth is as necessary to preserve the existence of order as the repression and intelligence work carried out by the Ministry of Love.' Even for a journalist who follows the events with the anxiety of daily news and articles, it is not easy to understand and interpret the agenda that can fit into a decade in other countries, like Turkey, without taking a breather and looking back at the past. Twenty years later, you set out to write about February 28 and find yourself watching the July 15 coup! The adventure of this book was like that. As we began to wander through the pages of our own individual history with Milliyet, the old past appeared before us as the new reality.” In this book, Derya Sazak, during the thirty years she spent at Milliyet newspaper, describes the struggles between the powerful names of the period, the competition between groups, the winners and losers, the developments she witnessed from February 28 to the coup attempt of July 15, in the rising sector of the media in the 1990s. While conveying his observations, he sheds light on controversial periods in our history of media and democracy. It points to the roots in our recent history of today's surrender of most of the media to political power and the fact that most opposition journalists are either unemployed or imprisoned.
