Certainly, that is one way to look at it
Anyone familiar with english-langauge press knows the financial backing, ownership and the level of analysis of the Economist compared to Bloomberg.
Also if you think western and Israeli intelligence agencies don't have trump cards to use against Erdoğan and his affiliates and their potential financial deep secrets and offshore holdings then I have a bridge to sell to you. And just like how, knowing full-well Kaan and Hürjet will be used for election propaganda purposes, they still didn't sabotage Erdoğan by sending the engines, they also don't divulge their intelligence secrets to the opposition or publish it in their media. If anything EU has been in panic mode about the refugee deal, and that has been the extent of the western reaction. Other talks of democracy and human rights in western media is just cliche liberal posturing that doesn't hurt or benefit anyone.
But why dont we consider the fact that Erdogan has some cards against the West and Israel as well? The sole belief that Erdogan is naked infront of the West is a stupid fantasy that the West is trying to portray. If Erdogan truly has no cards, then Turkey woukd have retreated from Syria long ago under US pressure, lol. Moreover, Many Western leaders and Israel's Natenyahu are in hot waters and any bad rumors going on top of the mix may mark the end of their career. Furthermore, Ismail Demir stated on multiple occassions that they are learning from past mistakes and are having 2 to 3 back-up plans in case the West tries to sabotage one or two projects
