Rosen-Assistant

: "Do you agree with the position that newspapers, websites, editors and journalists are influenced by commercial and political considerations?"

Salvation

: "By and large, there are places that are more, there are places that are less. I admit I got down on journalists who did not see the commercial point."

Rosen-Ozer presented an email from Ilan Shiloach to Yeshua, in which he passed an article on "The Source", and Yeshua replied that "Unlike all other media Walla! "Without agendas, only the CEO has a noir agenda to keep the company alive. I will not let the children sniff, some are stupid and uneducated to destroy the company."

Salvation explained that he wrote things cynically.

"I exaggerated what I said before. In the end, I brought in good journalists like Yinon Magal, Avi Issacharoff, Tali Ben Ovadia. There was dissonance. I was not right from a journalistic point of view. It happens to journalists, even in reputable newspapers, that they write nonsense," Yeshua said.

"I admit that then I struggled, this is my first role in the communications body. I struggled between the commercial side and the systemic side, in the end society lives from day to day and has to bring the money. Today it is clear to me in trying to set rules here and there. , So it deserves to be done. It should be known that this issue is very complex, that the press lives on commercial rather than subscription models, and its need reflects the truth. It becomes a bundle of trouble. Talk about rubbing salt in my wounds - d'oh!

"Put a dick on the righteous journalists"

Later, Adv. Rosen-Ozer presented a correspondence between the then CEO of Globes, Eitan Madmon, and Yeshua.

Madmon warned Yeshua of the journalists in the system.

"They are traitors, one day they will open their mouths," it was written - and in response Yeshua replied "put a dick on the righteous journalists."

Rosen-Ozer told him that "in the face of your pious lecture, we will now stand on the scriptures and see what Ilan Yeshua thought of journalists, editors and his system."

Yeshua explained: "First of all it is clear that there is blatant language and I regret it. There are correspondences between friends and officers. Alongside this, it does not describe my relationship with the journalists."

"The attitude towards him was ambivalent."

Adv. Rosen-Ozer went on to investigate Yeshua's relationship with the site's editor in 2013, Yinon Magal, and disputes with the system over commercial content. Yeshua explained that there was apparently a collaboration with Channel 10 regarding the program that was broadcast on television and there was a dispute regarding the broadcasting rights.

Later, Adv. Who was then the site's editor. In a correspondence, Magal wrote about an advertising article that appeared on the site: It's a red line. "Salvation replied," We must continue with advertising articles. I spoke with Ran Gurion (from the Yes-YF group) and it is accepted that he needs to be refined. "

Adv

Rosen-Ozer

:"You state that promotional articles will continue to be published "

Salvation

: "There is no media body that does not have advertising articles. Neither does the New York Times. This advertising article is exaggerated"

Advocate Rosen-Ozer

: Reporter".

"My attitude to Lennon Magal was ambivalent"

Advocate Rosen-Ozer presented additional emails showing Yeshua's comments regarding the content of the articles. For example, he commented on an editorial of an airline that did not mention the name and model of the Boeing 777, and Yeshua explained that ".

She presented an email sent by Salvation to Walla! In it he criticized Magal and wrote that he would soon replace him as editor-in-chief. "We need to stop whining and preparing the organizational structure. Yinon's role is presenter and head of the TV edition, we need to see how it is orchestrated and make alternatives in case he leaves. I think he can not stay as editor-in-chief. Suggest destroying the post after you read it."

Adv. Rosen-Ozer

: "As early as March 2014, the decision to memorize Magal will not remain as editor-in-chief, right or wrong."

Salvation

: "My attitude to Lennon was ambivalent. You show one thing, but dozens of times I say ask, to Udi Hirsch, memorization is an asset, he put us on the map. Fact is even after he left I'm the one I tried to give back twice."

A disturbing and puzzling farce: there is no way to justify the procrastination in the Netanyahu trial

To the full article

Advocate Rosen-Ozer called on Yeshua to admit that he interfered with the content of the site. Not because someone activated you and gave you instructions, but because it was through your management. Until you agree to say this thing, we will see more and more things. "

Salvation

:" There is a basic misunderstanding here. There's a basic mistake here that I'm sure is unintentional. "A CEO of a company in the end, like it or not, involved in everything. Hiring the people, setting the infrastructure, I set up the studio."

Judge Rebecca Friedman-Feldman

intervened and said, "This is not the question that was asked."

Salvation

: "There are two types of content intervention, there is management and performance of the site, which have nothing to do with the line of the system, whether uploaded or not."

Friedman-Feldman

"It is not the content, this way of working. What is written this way or another - it's content"
