(Hürriyet Newspaper, 3 March 2022)









  Harmless Byzantine prank or a harbinger of things 
to come?...

Communications Minister Fahrettin Altun sent a note of objection to the
American TV channel CBS, which showed a map of Greece and Turkey,
with Istanbul depicted as part of Greece (!).   In response, CBS 
apologized for the mistake and promised that it would not happen again.  

The CBS report concerned the passage of Russian warships through the
Turkish straits.  In the apology, the CBS managing editor stated that "The 
graphic showing Istanbul as part of Greece, rather than Turkey, was 
corrected as soon as it was brought to our attention.  We remain faithful 
to providing accurate information in all our news programs and we have 
reviewed our procedures to ensure that a mistake like this never happens 
again.  I am grateful that you contacted us and have given CBS News 
the opportunity to apologize to you."
