Outlet track record
Daily Sabah
Turkish pro-government (AKP/Erdoğan-aligned)
Daily Sabah is an English-language Turkish newspaper owned through a chain of holding companies linked to business allies of President Erdoğan and the ruling AKP party. Its editorial line consistently supports Turkish government positions and frames international news through a pro-Ankara lens. Because Turkey-U.S. relations have warmed under Trump's second term, the outlet's coverage of the Trump administration is broadly favorable, presenting his return to office as an opportunity for closer Turkish-American ties.
