In Turkey, 'yalan yanlış haber' is a very common term used by politicians and citizens alike to criticize media bias or lack of fact-checking. Teachers often warn students against 'yalan yanlış' learning, which refers to memorizing things incorrectly without understanding the logic. Calling someone's words 'yalan yanlış' to their face is quite confrontational and suggests they are being irresponsible with the truth. With the rise of WhatsApp groups in Turkey, elders often share 'yalan yanlış' health advice, which younger generations frequently have to debunk.
