What a day in Turkey:

• Erdogan threatens to shut down social media sites
• Watchdog issues broadcast ban to two opposition channels for 5 days
• Watchdog investigates German auto makers after VW abandons plans to build a factory in Turkey
• Erdogan to visit Qatar tomorrow

Today, #Turkey's President declared his intention to kill all social media outlets, the last remaining platform for independent and critical journalism.

His gov't already shut down 187 media outlets, jailed 175 journalists & forced 168 into exile. https://t.co/19WzlYpWXm pic.twitter.com/ITI0NAeItA
