There is zero possibility that anything like that will happened to Turkey just as there is zero possibility of that happening to Saudi Arabia for their journalist murdering. The current rulership of the US (and Poland for that mater) actively dislike academia and the free press.
Also, the US will need to use Turkey for whatever it plans to do to Iran. So if anything, revealing Erdogan's atrocities is annoying to the current leadership not helping.

Since we're talking about the NYT, I must say that at this time the US is overwhelmingly controlled by a party that condemns the media and its own free press as a lying enemy of the people. This is why the hated there grew enormously in the last few years. I understand there are similar forces in several other nations.
