As you may recall, about three months ago, the acting commander of the GLC took down the current affairs program "Wilenski and Bardugo" and caused a great stir. Shortly after I took over as acting IDF Wave Commander and Editor-in-Chief, I outlined a number of guiding principles in which I stated that Glatz members - journalists and broadcasters - should refrain from advancing positions by way of quarreling, defamation, contempt, or lack of factual basis - in all broadcasts, including Publicist squares These broadcasting norms, and only they, fit the public character of IDF waves.

"We have a duty to adopt the code of ethics of IDF waves not only in Scripture but also in deeds," she wrote.

In this context, it should be noted that at the same time, criticism of the station and its transformation into a political instrument increased - this time by the change government, due to a series of aggressive moves by Altstein, who herself was not selected by the job search committee but was dropped by Minister Ganz.

According to him, GLC led at the time by a huge gap in the Gaza Strip, and "proudly held this position until the illegal dismissal of our client from the station, after which the percentage of listening to the program dropped by more than 50%."

Bardugo further writes in the warning letter that "For the avoidance of doubt it will be clarified that the position of station commander is not an essential position whose unmanned may cause damage to the safety or health of people or serious damage to property or cessation of services or severe disruption of staff; certainly no appointment; And there was certainly a way to expect the job to be vacated ahead of time, as the outgoing station commander, Mr. Shimon Alkabetz, had terminated his position due to the termination of his employment contract; .

_ "When the Minister of Defense set her the main goal of silencing our client and removing him from the station."

In the following, Bardugo also refers to the percentage of listening, which has decreased in front of the competing network B since he left.

According to him, the GLC led at the time by a huge gap in the Gaza Strip, and "held this position proudly until the illegal dismissal of our client from the station, after which the percentage of listening to the program dropped by more than 50%."
