+==== Intentions (Trustworthiness) ====
 **Agenda:**
-- Kütahyalı seems to be pushing a narrative that critiques the nationalistic rhetoric and the societal acceptance of ongoing conflict without resolution. He highlights the contradictions within the [[LAST]] middle class and the broader societal attitudes towards the conflict.

+- While Kütahyalı provides factual references to incidents and locations, his column is heavily infused with personal commentary and emotional language, suggesting a subjective approach rather than purely objective reporting. He uses specific examples and anecdotes to illustrate broader societal issues, which might be seen as a method to engage readers emotionally rather than just informing them.
