New year, new government, new threat to shut down public broadcasting.
God help, why is everything so tiring?
The truth is, I hardly watch TV.
And no, it's not because I only consume Pakistani movies at the Cinematheque.
I actually don't consume any movies that don't have a number in their name ("Thor 3", "Spider-Man 2", etc.) and I actually do listen to a lot of TV and know by heart the theme song of Shi-Ra the Princess of Power, Power P.J. and the coffee of a pea
This week Communications Minister Shlomo Karai announced that he is interested in closing the corporation.
Merav Michaeli batteries NATzim, Miri Regev cancels them.
Lieberman imposes a tax on HDP, Smotrich cancels it.
A constitutional revolution, they hate the legal adviser - this government does not have one ounce of originality.
Why don't you reinvent yourself?
The one that is particularly strong in original work is public broadcasting.
And I know this because the only times I was really enthusiastic about an Israeli television production was when I watched the corporation's content: "Rehearsals", "And Ha'aretz was Chaos and Chaos", "First Box Office", "Sorry for the Question".
I don't know if Minister Karai has recently turned on a television, but perhaps as part of the overlap process for every Minister of Communications, he should be made to sit in front of the screen for half a day.
The best on the screen.

But I'll spare you, Minister Karai, you must have a lot on your mind.
As a concerned citizen, I am attaching here a short review I made of the content broadcast on the commercial channels:
Some Israeli reality series:
*Something quite trivial happens*
Close-up of an angry contestant
Close-up of a surprised
contestant Contestant: "Wow, I can't believe this happened
" Contestant: "You grab your head and say to yourself - it can't be"
Older contestant: I've been ____ for 30 years and I've never seen anything like this before.
Wow, she can't believe this is happening.

Some kind of interview program:
Interviewer: What do you think of Mi Tu?
Interviewee (who was told by public relations that the interview would be the easiest): Ah... it's great that women feel more comfortable complaining, it wasn't always like that.
Interviewer: Have you felt the need to complain in the past?
Interviewee: Oh... yes, sometimes...?
Interviewer: And you felt there was no address?
Interviewee: Oh... yes.
Promo for the show: the famous actress in a revealing confession: I wanted to complain but I didn't have an address!!!
Some news panel:
Man with a mustache: ___ is a shame and disgrace!!!
A man with a cap (to a man with a mustache): Believe me, you are ungrateful, ____ founded this country!!!!
Man with a mustache: Who are you????
Woman: ...I...
Interviewer: Maybe at this point we will hear some data?
Man with a sweater: From research we conducted at the Hebrew University, it can be seen that
- Interviewer: Thank you
what?
I am.
shame!
Thanks.

Some kind of lifestyle program:
Interviewee: This is an innovative procedure where they saw off your head, stretch all the facial skin, push the excess in and sew tightly.
Interviewer: And it hurts?
Interviewee: Not at all!
Along the way, you can also remove one lobe, for those who feel that their head is too fat.
Interviewer: A dream.
And if you weren't convinced, I made a short calculation on a Gematria calculator: "public broadcasting" comes out 838, just like "All Israel are sons of kings".
And also "Sergio Ramos the best brakeman in the world".
"Gematria Calculator" by the way comes out 683, like "Benyamin Netanyahu", "Prison", and "Orange Juice".
And if you are still not convinced, I suggest that we start mentally preparing ourselves for the "pillar of fire" under the guidance of Rotem Sela and Assi Ezer.
were we wrong
We will fix it!
