After the Ministry of Health filed a criminal complaint about a news report broadcast on Fox TV about Mersin City Hospital, Bakırköy Public Prosecutor’s Office has launched an investigation against the anchorperson of Fox TV Fatih Portakal and its Managing Director Onur Kumbaracıbaşı for “degrading the state organs”, “insult” and “libel”.
As a response to the investigation, Fatih Portakal has posted the following tweet: “… Shall the one who is intimidated by you and does not do journalism go blind and become speechless.”
