The network has received criticism for failing to meet accepted journalism ethics and standards for independence and objectivity, with some commentators especially in the West calling it a mouthpiece or propaganda arm of the Erdoan administration.[12][13][14] TRT World has stated that it is financially and editorially independent from the Turkish government, and that its news gathering and reporting activities are just like those of other publicly-funded broadcasters around the world, with a mission to show a non-Turkish audience events from Turkey's viewpoint.[15][16][14] However, according to Reporters Without Borders, Turkey in 2020 ranked 154th out of 179 countries in press freedom.[17]
In March 2020, the United States Justice Department required TRT World's Washington operation to register as an agent of the Government of Turkey, engaged in political activities, under the anti-propaganda Foreign Agents Registration Act. TRT World's arguments that it is independent were rejected by the US officials, who found that the Turkish government "exercises direction and control of TRT by regulation and oversight, and by controlling its leadership, budget, and content."[16] Apart from some Russian and Chinese networks, other state-funded media including the Qatari-backed Al Jazeera, British-backed BBC News, French-backed France 24 and German-backed Deutsche Welle had not been determined to be foreign-government agents.[18]

More recently as of March 2020 with the Evros border crisis, TRT World and other Turkish media have in a way, accelerated on producing fake news as alleged by the Greek government, as was also mentioned by Prime Minister of Greece Kyriakos Mitsotakis in a CNN interview twice,[22] stating that the reports all come from Turkish media and other unknown sources aiming to discredit the Hellenic Coast Guard and Hellenic Armed Forces efforts with propaganda videos.

i have to wonder how someone winds up on TRTWorld's twitter page in the first place.

glancing at its followers list, there's not much crossover into western audiences.
