Kanal 7
Kanal 7 is a Turkish television channel with documented links to Islamist political parties, including the ruling Justice and Development Party. Through 2015 the opening stated, "It is an Islamic/Islamist channel with links to Islamist parties including the current Justice and Development Party." Today's opening calls it only "a Turkish Free-to-air nationwide Islamic TV channel," and the word islamist appears nowhere in the article. A reader arriving now does not learn that the channel has documented ties to Islamist political parties, including Turkey's ruling party.
