Bu çalışma Türkiye’deki başarısız 15 Temmuz Darbe Girişimi
ve sonrasında yaşananların Batı’da nasıl temsil edildiği ile ilgilidir. Çarpıtılmış bir temsilin Batı medyasına egemen olduğu göz
önüne alınırsa, bu çalışma temelde neden Sağ ve Sol 15 Temmuz darbe girişimi hakkında aynı resmi sundu sorusunu sormaktadır. Bu soruyu cevaplamak için bu çalışma “iyi Müslüman
Kütü Müslüman’a karşı” ve “direniş sevdası” gibi iki kavramı
kullanmaktadır. İlkine göre, Sağ darbe girişimi hakkında böylesine çarpık bir resim sundu çünkü “iyi Müslüman Kütü Müslüman’a karşı” üzerine temellenen mantalitesi darbe yapmasına
rağmen Gülen’in masum, Erdoğan’ı kötülüklerin kaynağı olarak
okumaya endeksli. Sol’a gelince Erdoğan’ı mutlak lider ve diğer
geri kalanı ise muhalif hareketler olarak gördü. Bu varsayımdan
kaynaklanan 'ya Erdoğan darbeyi daha büyük bir iktidar için
kullanırsa' korkusu Sol’un bakışını zehirledi.
