Come here the news hour for you at 1500. 00 g. M. T. Thats a little over 25 minutes from now right after the listing posts next. To no 2 is there a school realistically how can you do with institutionalised corruption and in this country we listen if this breaks up into a conflict between budgets the un and india this has implications for the rest of the world we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter is there a. Race for the. Us. What the president of the United States said in large part its absolutely untrue. Hello im Richard Geres virgin youre watching the listening post working from home for the American Media Election Night coverage just drags on and on their predictions were off but their reporting on the vote count and the aftermath has been far better its called neo ottoman cool turkey is exporting its history through epic t. V. Adventures from the days of empire india the arrest of our not goswami one of the countrys allow this progovernment voices on television then its back to the us. And the sinking ship that is the trump tower. Journalists knew that the coverage of Election Night in america was going to turn into a waiting game the pandemic and all that mail in voting meant that the results would take time what they didnt have a feel for was how much time since the race turned out to be much closer than expected once again the polls which predicted that Joe Bidens Democratic Party would win maybe even in a landslide were way off well get into some of the reasons why that happened what was predicted correctly was that this president would not go down easily that donald trump would contest the results suggest the election was stolen maybe even declare victory for that the media came prepared and pushed back hard even the trunk backing Fox News Channel but with the Biden Victory all those News Networks and Media Outlets that have thrived on the trunk show should get thinking about a new Business Model our starting point this week is washington. When the polls closed in the election broadcast lines analysts and pundits had no idea how long it would take the ride they were in for and just how chaotic donald trump would make we are United States and anxiety and i know all of them knew that there were moments coming testing once and they had to have a plan on how to handle the how to cover those moments we were getting ready to win this election frankly we didnt read this or lack the 1st day on the election at 2 28 am Eastern Standard Time is reporting earlier in the day and the president was going to try to declare victory no matter what happened that night and again we are going to stop there and watched it like you know you cant turn your eyes away from a car crash and you know 1st dont know running on the last day of voting night you know maybe airing everything that he says is not a great idea n. B. C. And m s n b c. Dont. Out of his remarks to come to the viewers and see if this isnt true. Reluctant to step in duty bound to cry now when he says we did win this election weve already won that is not based in the facts at all innocent b. C. I didnt even go back to him you saw Norah Odonnell the chief anchor for c. B. S. Saying the president was castrating the facts falsely claiming that he has the election you saw some impressive pushback on c. N. N. My jaw dropped when i heard the president united say we should stop all voting on fox news you know bret baier said well the president said a lot of things that were accurate but then turned to Chris Wallace and Chris Wallace said you know this is a an extremely flammable situation of the president just. And thats fox news the network thats been President Trumps biggest most important backer on the american airwaves roughly 48 hours later trump was back out sounding off with 0 evidence on Election Fraud and taking a swipe at the polls that for the 2nd straight election have proven inaccurate by severely underestimating the trunkful the really phony polls have to go on phony polls fake polls were designed to keep. At home create the illusion of momentum for mr. And diminish republicans ability to raise funds they were whats called suppression falls everyone knows that ok here we are again and the on usual person not only interrupting the president of the United States but correcting the president of the United States. The polls some of which were taken by conservative agencies were not phony or fake they were flawed most are conducted over a mobile phone that works making the slice of the population that doesnt use small box like the elderly or that cant afford them hard to reach harder to measure plus theres the shy trumper theory on whether pollsters are getting straight answers from respondents still media organizations find polls irresistible they provide cheap news content number driven talking currents but 19 times out of 20 pundits and prognosticators whore out in the form of horse race journalism our final n. B. C. News wall street journal completed over not. President and all that News Coverage of polls during the campaign emphasized an area of reporting that has proven once again to be defective or 2016 they were like well we made a mistake because of shy transfers or because of this because of that because people didnt want to admit they wanted to vote for trying. 2020 they need mistakes im senate race they got it wrong in the senate like it time and i dont know what telephones or what but the biggest loser are in the 2020 alexion is. Right its wrong for us in the media to rely on we have now seen that this is not a time this doesnt work and we have thought that pull into tyranny learn some lessons and there was much talk the last few years about tweaking their goals one tweak supposedly was to make sure. Noncollege educated white males were included because there was a leave. Under them and they were key factor in trying to feeding clinton and the assumption was this time they got it right clearly they did not have it right i saw someone tweeting yesterday like oh if trump wins again like the Polling Industry has done and thats like saying you know if Climate Change is real and the oil industry is that polling it is an integral arda of this whole dog and pony show and this whole circus that were part of i think part of it is American Culture were very impatient we want to know information right away even if we know that our stars as might not have all of the information we just want to be able to point to something and say look at this and look at whats happening in your. Part of that show was the journalists need to be 1st and president ial elections bring out the competitor and the Networks Want their production tasks to declare the winner state by state before other news channels her recollection of several things that are close to. The ballot this time around with the pandemic boosting postal vote and extending the counting process and with the president accusing the Fake News Media of trying to steal the election American News outlets resisted their usual need for speed theres been a lot more caution about can. Its a different election than its ever been for america because we had his terrible pandemic and we knew there were going to be times when malin rivers of course the where of his presidency has not been determined with billions of those which have announced over the counter a lot of the entities that that called the elections were really really careful and that was really Great Networks have been burned often in their caution is now predictable and not but Election Nights still going to modern media this tension between speed on one hand and getting it right on the other how many people like things fast. But were not talking about a wife i connection here were talking about our democracy one sees that every day obviously in media often to the detriment of Good Journalism by and large this time on this election caution us rules. Dont trump has made it clear if hes going down hes going down swinging his only remaining path to reelection is through the courts and cases will drag on minus the evidence the trump needs to win so will the briefest in front of the journalists he calls enemies of the soundbites the bombast this circus that has defined american politics for 4 years will keep eyeballs glued and ratings up until january at least but the News Networks and their accountants must be asking themselves whats next it is likely that you would see a sort of standard or declining ratings. Among the Cable Networks notably imus and b c and c. N. N. Who are very. Strong trackers in part because joe biden is just not going to be as sexy and newsy and as bastard controversy and as antagonistic as donald trump is so absurd one of the ironies is there are probably benefits because it can probably more from being a conduit in the end made in for a nerve donald trump to being now the opposition to the democratic president joe and for fox it will be easy enough to really trash the bidens to trash the press for not destroying the by to go after terrorists and just see what kind of mischief they can make connecting the administration of the l m a n t 5 or anything else that seems to be at variance with vision of america they claim to embrace so. I dont think its that tough a game plan provide. Fodder. News and many American News outlets will for ever be stained by the sycophantic wolf a played in Donald Trumps rockets but heres the irony since taking office by lowering the standards of political discourse bottoming out this president has inadvertently managed to raise the standards of american political reporting at his own expense donald trump isnt the only National Leader who lives but name one other countries where the majority of news outlets responsible ones will cut the mike and just call it what it is on democratic and all thats quite the legacy if not the want donald trump was looking. Moving on now from a country thats been known to call itself the worlds greatest democracy to the one that tells itself as the Worlds Largest india and the squeeze on editorial freedoms and freedom of expression there ever since Prime Minister Narendra Modis b j p came to power back in 2014 1st up on our radar as we have nick me or head on a curious story involving one of indias most notorious Television News hosts are not goswami who was arrested this past week nic tell us a little bit about the swami who he is and the circumstances of this arrest hes the cofounder and editor in chief of republic t. V. He hosts a nightly show that focuses on politics but frequently descends into screaming matches i do you have found so i agree about how modest i want if we are today the is and ashamedly primeau d. And pro b j p out of nowhere this week he was arrested in mumbai in connection with a suicide that took place in 2018 according to the suicide note that this case is based on me allegedly you know the man who killed himself a businessman owed him a large sum of money and was refusing to pay it back because rami has since the not been out of asian but if this suicide case is 2 years old why did the arrest only occur now well thats what much of the skepticism around this case is about you see when the suicide took place the indian state which republic t. V. Operates out of modern after that it was under the b j p government since then theyve been stated actions and an Opposition Party has taken control and the Opposition Party that has robbie frequently takes and met often with things that just doesnt stand up to journalistic scrutiny which raises the concern that the state police have been used to simple political vendettas and have you been watching the coverage of this story on republic t. V. Yes and its hindi and its english channel. If theyve been running basically on repeat the arrest for the 0 which you can hear goswami accuse the officers of assaulting him politically afford to be and what. They have been a number of senior b j p ministers who have come out in support of this rummy essentially saying that his arrest amounts to an attack on press freedom in the country which is ironic because some of those same very ministers have been largely silent about and even complicit in the arrest and harassment of critics of the b j p government ok thanks nick. Its been on the air for 5 seasons now there have been more than 400. 00 episodes and with hundreds of millions of viewers dead only out of to rule or out of to rule the resurrection is one of turkeys biggest television exports yet and this is a country thats among the top exporters of t. V. Content in the world dead earlyish attitude is a historical epic its set in the 13th century its on the founding of the Ottoman Empire the show cashes in on a wave of the stalled year and fascination for that era whats known as neo ottoman cool but given the topic the time period and the current geo political context theres a propagandist it feel to the show and others like it that plays right into the hands of turkeys ruling party the a. K. P. And president heir to ones own brand of turkish nationalism the listening posts may not she ravi now on how history politics and entertainment collide in turkeys automatics. Every Community Every nation has a troop of key storylines and unity magnetic narratives that are retold time and again. In britain there are stories of royalty from the cost to the present. Generation also i dont know i dont want. To include in Popular Culture the canteen food independence from japan is it a cut in theme. To top. Up. And in turkey over the past decade or so ottoman history the opulence conquests power has been one of the most popular story lines across media but especially on t. V. In costume change a society in constant flux and in such conflicts in times of crisis especially history. As a subject which plays a significant role in creation or identity. The rising interest in stories of the past in terms of t. V. Drama has been a really really important phenomenon ottoman themed shows were not popular up to a point in fact. The most popular shows were. Romantic drama. And then suddenly around 2011 Magnificent Century or. Became a big hit that has been a catalyst for this change and were seeing more of the ottoman related ottoman inspired shells in turkish television. Big difference and she was an unqualified success an International Hit watched by tens of millions across the middle east asia and latin america. With the countrys t. V. Industry and the dramas it produces disease as theyre called in turkish into the big leagues that was back in 20114 years later after rule after rules resurrection came on the air confirming the International Appeal of disease and opening up new markets in pakistan for instance a government in what are called knowing. The citys gets blockbuster ratings on p. T. V. The state broadcaster there. The plot of a for true list centered around the founders of the of the Ottoman Empire. District. Court was a. Strong roads are called where. Telling stories about the founding of the Ottoman Empire one aspect of the popularity of the series is that they show the middle east the muslim city is at the center of the world contrasting with portrayals of the west as weak and divided. We see the defeat of the crusaders these themes of kind of islamic pride definitely. Contribute to its popularity and pakistan is a good example of that too will be popular specifically in the muslim world is fascinating by itself other couple elements to look at why the 1st one is cultural proximity theres so much cultural overlap between middle eastern neighbors and turkey and also after the success of magnificence century fascination with everything that is related to the Ottoman Empire became very popular and the consumption of that became cool new york to them cool is a term that my colleague my one create the point to reflect that new image of. Started perhaps 15 years ago it demonstrated that shift of perception from turkey as an enemy to turkey as a modern turkish soft power was perhaps at its height with the rise of president ghana at the time and this went hand in hand with the popularity of turkish Popular Culture particularly turkish t. V. Series. For president of egypt and his justice and development party. In turkey reconnecting with the ottoman eda has been central to their message. In his more than 15 years in power and the one has pushed him. Of continuity drawing a line from the ottomans will dance through to himself. Another one has done that by locking up his critics in the news media transforming toking into one of the worlds leading chinos of journalists scores of academics and dissidents have been imprisoned as well amidst all of that the t. V. Dramas the daily shouted and the spin off by thoughts of the honey both of which were commissioned by turkeys state broadcaster t. R. T.

Try to show jobs the whole cloth or diminish our to rule is. A reenactment all contemporary politics. The people on the one hand the enemy is all the people on the other hand the leader on the one hand the enemy is the believe theyre on the other hand elements of the show didnt issue at all specifically and also recently. It has been news for pro a. K. P. And pro add on initiatives especially the political rallies and campaigns. For example in the president ial campaign and 2017 this video specifically demonstrates that theres a historical continuities between the Ottoman Empire and present i dont. See. The time. For audiences cynical both of and of turkeys role in the region the comparisons between ottoman t. V. Heroes and the turkish president not only fall flat theyre seen as a not so subtle flexing of muscles a signal that turkey can through its cultural exports try to soften public sentiment that has undeniably hardened across a number of arab nations not least because of turkeys role in 2 wars in syria and libya. Drama series. Importance because there are often in interpreted by governments as part of that turkish political and military push and we can seek out of a counter historic interpretation in a number of new big budget series that are produced by. Countries like the u. A. E. And egypt and saudi arabia with money in us affairs you dont have a. Little better than what i want you have a cut at all and it was dark but what. Is one of the more recent examples it takes up the theory and does as its backdrop and kind of shows. In a very negative. Lies the turkish history control intervention in egypt and some portray as more turkish historical figures. I do not go back and forth over the airwaves im not limited to news reporting or political rhetoric. Entertainment informs audiences to sheeps hearts and minds. By tapping into a fascination for the ottoman eda took his disease have grown into an export industry. A country a weapon but a country out to dry as a direct its history if not its empire. And finally the election story still unfolding in the us has exposed once again the flaws in the polling and it wasnt just journalists and politicos paying attention to those polls so were comedians and the online satirical industry this next video is from an account called believe me news it imagines the president as the captain of a sinking ship the trump at the track is from 2003 and the british singer died it fits right into 2020 though as an ode to Donald Trumps enablers in the senate and some in the u.
