Whenever anyone speaks of being "fair and balanced" I think of Faux News.
I disagree that it is more difficult to learn what problems are in a country without a free press. The press in the US is anything but free. We are able to learn about problems without any press involvement whatsoever. In fact, the best understandings come when we ignore the media outlets altogether.
BTW, I see that you buy into the assertion that this is a significant piece of green space in Istanbul.
