===Fabricated Noam Chomsky interview=== <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.4px;">On August 26, </span><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22.4px;">Noam Chomsky accused the pro-government </span>''Yeni Şafak''<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.4px;"> newspaper of fabricating parts of an interview that was done with him via email</span><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.4px;">, including inventing questions and answers and altering criticism of Erdoğan's approach to Egypt and Syria into an assertion that Turkey "stood with the oppressed people in Syria and Egypt".</span><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.4px;"> The administration of </span>''Yeni Şafak''<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.4px;"> denied the accusation and promised to release the original English content of the emails. However, the released original was full of grammatical mistakes. Later it was found out that </span>''Yeni Şafak''<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.4px;"> used </span><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22.4px;">Google Translate to translate fabricated Turkish content into English, and presented the translation as the original interview.</span><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.4px;"> After the grammatical errors, particularly "milk port", became a sensation on social media, </span>''Yeni Şafak''<span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.4px;"> finally admitted some parts were fabricated and removed the entire interview from its web site.</span>
