Limor Smimian-demanded


Dozens of people who hold definite left positions are regularly seated on television and radio channels, their positions are known, and they are referred to as "journalists." Some, such as Nitzan Horowitz, Shelly Yachimovich, Daniel Ben-Simon, and others, were Knesset members and returned to Round B at the microphone. Others are expressed on social networks, confronted by members of the company on the right and the next day they return to the studio to staff another "neutral" and "objective" chair. For example, Attila Shumpbley tweeted this week, calling Netanyahu's supporters "the puppet scam of the right-wing conservative-bastard liar ..." and in the same breath did not hesitate to invite the prime minister to interview him, of course, as a journalist.

Not only is the word "leftist" in close proximity to a journalistic word absent from the media lexicon, but the identification, marking, and labeling of the right-wing journalist is systematic. Almost police. Like goods made in Judea and Samaria. And who is identified? Becomes a "right-wing journalist", a "right-wing political commentator" and later a "shofar." The controversy that flared up this week between Raviv Drucker and Shimon Ricklin settled on the same pattern. Journalist Reviv vs Ricklin the Shofar. The fact that Drucker's stories range from strategic advice to the left and negative coverage to Netanyahu has never been seen as a stain on his professional image. "You will not sew anything to Netanyahu," he wrote in the past, and Amir Peretz excitedly exclaimed, "Do not wait for the last two days and quickly implement the Union on the left to prevent loss of seats to the left." But Ricklin's statements in support of the counterclaim policy, on the right, are grounds for denying the journalist's certificate.

Those from the National Camp who nevertheless managed to break through the media concrete ceiling have always been accepted on probation, a legitimate supplier, hold a temporary concession, under unique conditions of use. And what are the conditions? Follow our "ethical" rules; Humble your views; Sit only on the chair assigned to you at the far right of the panel; Accept the fact that you always have a partner for balance; And don't you dare become too independent or dominant, lest your little department be cut off. We follow you with seven eyes.

Under these rules of use, for example, Jacob Bardogo (the writer of this paper) has been persecuted for months by journalists, commentators and tweeters who are determined to rob him of the daily Gaza Strip. This happens after Aral Sgt (the writer here, too) succeeded in smuggling methods Similar. And, of course, the suspension of Sgt 11 from here was made possible easily and without too much opposition from the colleagues (if not their encouragement), as for them he was a photographer in the first place. Similarly, the age of Jacob Ahimair (he also writes here) was for a runner, while for Yaron this London To this day, at every Friday studio on TV channels, only a faculty member sits on a permanent standard, one of three panels of "objective journalists".

The endless examples and frustration of more than half of the public who feel unrepresented are unbearable. But we have to see it as nothing more than a socialist relic from the Mapai era.
