[quote user="Arikan" post="86229"]Yep. Totally different. Only yesterday I read a fluff piece on the ''Gülen Movement (oh, it's a movement now),'' and how it is being wrongly prosecuted. If I squinted hard enough, I could have pretended I was reading The Guardian or The New York Times.

Quote: I am so fed up with TDN, so full of bad bad translation and typos as well as turkish journalists thinking they can write in english. Perhaps I understood incorrectly, but isn't it often the case that the Turkish columnist's article was not written for TDN per se, but simply translated into English (and I'm guessing not by the author) from the original column which appeared in a Turkish daily? I remember in Turkish class we read one of Mehmet Ali Birand's columns in Hurriyet and then a translation of the same column appeared in TDN a couple of days later.
Is it the same at Today's Zaman?

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that for some of the writers that is the case. I don't know whether their columns are written in Turkish for other media outlets, but I know a few of them don't speak fluent enough English to be writing articles in it, so there must be translation for some of them.

 Namaz Is this going to be a fundamentalists' forum now? Zaman (= Namaz, if you read it the other way round) is one of these Fetullah Güven activities. Not sure whether you really wanna read this...

Those men will so do anything to look good and modern and to gain power. They were delivering free Turkish Zaman to every household at my parents street. (which is in Besiktas-Ciragan area, not Gaziosmanpasa!)
