Well the "international news" are owned by people with political interests so not all important news becomes mainstream news only those that serve a propose.
Here are some more sources:
nsnbc.me...
www.breitbart.com...
www.meforum.org...
en.newsner.com...
www.haaretz.com...
www.ndtv.com...
I seen all of those links, none of them are credible to me. The first is even called NSNBC, which is obviously supposed to look like MSNBC. There are sites with names similar to NBC ABC and CBS as well, they all publish fake sensationalized news that tricks people who aren't paying full attention to the URL.
As skeptical as I may be of the media, that fact about political interest goes both ways. There are political interests that would love to publish anything that makes Turkey look bad. It fit's perfectly with the "muslims are ass backward" narrative, especially with edrogan's recent behavior, but it's something I find difficult to hide if it really did happen.
Ok your turn..
List me EVERY media source that would be acceptable to you
no. i'm not interested in a source measuring contest. I read both major and small blogs, but these are all bad sources.
NSNBC is designed to trick people as a fake MSNBC, you don't make your site look like a fake version of other news sites if you don't intend to trick people.
Brietbart lost their credibility with me when andrew was still alive, and it's only got worse.
MEforum bias agenda driven reporting with low standard of journalism, (aka propaganda)
Newsner is a horrible click bait site, it includes click bait about old men pooping themselves in grocery stores and the incredible responses do-gooder citizens had. also as a URL ridiculously close to Newser.
The others discuss meetings between Turkish diplomats and Austria over turkey's outrage at these false reports. Did you actually read them?
Basically your whole reply boils down to a padded out version of
" I'm not homophobic, one of my best friends is gay, BUT..."
But Islam related of course.

No it wasn't, I said I grew up in the melting pot but I never claimed to have Muslim friends, because I don't. You're the one with all the middle eastern friends.
My point is I'm open to many cultures/religions. The middle eastern people I met in Chicago were mainly Jews. During Carter we ran into a bunch of angry Iranian students rioting at an immigration office once. Can't really call that a meet/greet and I left the area soon after.
Now I live in the middle of nowhere, if I come across any Muslim people I'll treat them as respectfully as they treat me, unless they defend child rape, then all bets are off.
Besides you and I are not the topic of conversation, Turkey is. Doesn't matter who I befriend or don't, the topic is about Turkey passing legislation favoring child abuse. We're not talking about a region, a neighborhood or a religious sect the whole country of Turkey has decided to do away with the age of consent. That is not a frivolous thing.
Imo there is no good reason to do that other than child rape. The fact they moved so quickly to legislate suggest it's something the majority favors. I can't believe the majority of Turks in reality are simply weak/powerless "victims" of extreme legislation.
Maybe Turks are rioting in the streets over this change but I haven't seen it in the news. No threads about angry Turks, wonder why? Maybe you/your friends are modern and moderate but when whole countries go extreme, I'm afraid your kind is quickly becoming obsolete.

Only the ones where peeps said the OP is wrong, not verified, and that a lot of Turks will be outraged at this, and the knee-jerk reactions of some of us is not the whole picture.
Erdogan is digging a hole for himself, most Turks want to be part of Europe.
But he's still holding his trump card (forgive the pun) which is the refugee deal.
Since Turkey shot down a russian fighter a few months back, everyone thought it would mean BIG problems, but no, Vladimir shrugs it off & goes to visit his mate Erdogan. If that had been any other country it would have been very serious provocation to the Russians.
Of course Putin would love to see Turkey kicked out of NATO, it's all very slick indeed.
