Once journalists flaunted false objectivity • The age of the internet revealed they also have opinions

It is said that only if you are old, blind, limp, or have ever shot anyone in Kansas City, you have the right to sing the blues. If all your teeth are still in your mouth, you have private health insurance and you live in intelligence - you have no right to blues. If it's a miserable bastard who lashed out on a broken folding bed in an adulterous motel, you can sing blues about it. If a jealous husband stabbed you in the spleen or if your loved one fried on an electric chair, it's a blues song. If you sold your soul to the Devil at a crossroads, you're Robert Johnson. In short - you understand the principles.

From "Meet John Doe" (1941)

Judas Caesar has the blues in his blood, and this week he played Teddy the "Praise of Jerusalem" in an instrumental solo before the game between Betar and Hapoel Tel Aviv. Performing oriental blues, a real pleasure, despite the dubious noise of the amplification in the high tones. Caesar has been through a lot, he is a classic. He has his hand, his sound. For guitarists it is most important. No matter the technique but what your voice is. And the Emperor has an aspiring guitar that you won't hear her know it's him. I felt a great honor to be associated with the Emperor. Because my week, as you may have heard, was windy. And have already written so much and talked endlessly that I think the story is quite exhausting.

Except for the guitar thing. Somehow I closed a circle. In one of the most significant moments that happened to me as a media person, I didn't speak, write, scold or encourage, but played guitar and gave a small solo at first. As a kid, it was my dream to be a guitarist in the band, Jimmy Page at a minimum. I remember standing in front of the mirror in a room with the guitar hanging and imagining giving a rock solo in a huge stadium.

And I didn't just play. The Prime Minister sings to me. Yes, I sat next to one of the most appreciated people in history. I am not ashamed to admit that I was excited. I look at the video and I have a torn Jerican smile on my face. In Israel, the Prime Minister is allowed to hate, reproach reporters, ridicule him - there is no other way to describe the writing of Yossi Werther from Haaretz, Ben-Caspian on Maariv or Amnon Abramovich on Channel 12, than loathing and hatred. And that's okay. Round it. This negative emotional involvement is acceptable, professional, matter-of-fact, but alas for those who dare to show some affection to Netanyahu, to himself as a human being.

One has to acknowledge the fact that the spectrum that separated the publicist and journalist is dead. The opinionated, avant-garde publicist is now a journalist for everything. He submits plans, creates investigations, and breaks far beyond the square of the article assigned to him instead of opinions. In contrast, the purportedly objective journalist has been exposed in the past decades. Thanks to the internet and the networks, we discovered that the journalist, Rahmana Litzlan, has an agenda that he promotes, in his reports, in his agenda, in his exposures - and also in what he brings up, is humbling.

There was hope once , at the beginning of the last decade, that social networks would give us a choice between narratives. To flip through the different truths, to create objectivity for the first time. We were wrong. After the 2015 election, the Barakzit referendum and the election in America, it was proven beyond all doubt that the networks imprisoned us. The right is surrounded by the right, the left by the left. The torches are different. We moved to live in resonance boxes.

Here is an example. On Monday evening, Ehud Barak struck a blow on Twitter. Entered Gabby Ashkenazi with gas. "Ashkenazi then repeatedly lied to police investigators, members of the General Staff and the public. And he is lying tonight, too, "he tweeted, and the next day he corrected:" To many who contacted me and asked why I tweeted yesterday about a forgotten Harpaz affair, here's the answer: Last night, instead of attacking Netanyahu, Gabi Ashkenazi chose to rally in his voice about Ali and the staff in a collection of unfounded lies. From now on, it is important to focus again on the joint mission: the removal of Netanyahu, who on his way to the defendants' bench threatens Israel's future. "Barak went to the cannula because a leftist Twitter Twitter," only not Bibi "cult got into it more strongly

When he entered Ashkenazi. The other thread in the comments was "Why Now"? Why ruin the chance to overthrow Benjamin Netanyahu?

And you know why. Because it is not the truth, justice and the war on corruption that is at the forefront, not lofty democratic values, but their almost thick desire to get rid of Netanyahu. The entire purity feast collapsed in the tweet dance where Ehud Barak was reprimanded for his sabotage in the holy effort to overthrow Netanyahu. No one was ashamed. The next day, as expected, a total disregard for the media is also fully committed.

Benny Gantz's "Fifth Dimension" company will face criminal investigation after the election, as we announced Wednesday. Aviad Glickman in News 13 emphasized that Gantz is neither suspicious nor expected to be questioned in a warning. This investigation is the result of the efforts of the Lavi organization and its attorney, Attorney Itzik Bam and several unrepentant journalists. Had it not been for a High Court petition, the prosecutor's office would have gone bankrupt to the end. Ask why not start an investigation now? After all, the allegation against Netanyahu was published five weeks before the election. Legislators explain: Here the decision fell when it came to about 4 weeks, which is too close.

In other words, he wrote a suspicion against Netanyahu just before the elections - a public obligation, the court explained. Netanyahu's pre-election hearing, urgent. Indictment on Netanyahu's important mission abroad without filing material, critical, even publishing the court date. But with the "fifth dimension" took the time and now the choices are used as an excuse as to why not start an investigation. But wait, if Gantz is not a suspect, if Gantz who was the chairman of the company and sat in with Commissioner Elshich, a meeting about which the auditor writes that was material to the contract and in which a misrepresentation was made - if Gantz is not suspicious, why not conduct the investigation immediately?

Even before that, Netanyahu invited Gantz to a confrontation. Gantz refused. You can understand it. Entering a reflective rhetorical arena with Netanyahu is the intellectual equivalent of a boxing battle with Mike Tyson. His rivals described the experience of entering the arena with him as a scapegoat. A young Brooklyn rhinoceros with the voice of a 9-year-old girl and half a ton in fists. The legs were traitorous, turning into jelly.

"I could knock him down in the third round," Mike Tyson once testified about one of his opponents. "But I wanted to do it slowly, so he'll remember that night a long time." I understand Benny Gantz. Too bad.

The networks imprisoned us. The right is surrounded by the right, the left by the left. The torches are different. We moved to live in resonance boxes
