Another week where voila!
Barangay and "Bodakim" follow the performances of the journalists and commentators and the various reports in the media and networks.
Also this week we collected for you the best blunders of journalists and media people, who didn't exactly stick to the facts, along with another conspiracy from the creator of Channel 14.
Timetable problems
The editor of the Globes newspaper, which boasts a fact-checking section, Naama Sikular, who is a weekly guest on the 'Shishi' panel on Channel 13, passionately explained this week that "Sefi Ovadia announced that Netanyahu was supposed to give a speech later this week, and at the last minute with the barbershop incident, the tones escalated."
The facts:
Ovadia published that Netanyahu changed his speech because of an ultimatum from Levin's rival and not because of the barbershop incident.
In general, during Netanyahu's speech, a small number of protesters were outside the barbershop, when what was called a "siege" took place long after his speech.
The unthrown stones
In the program 'Friday Studio' on Channel 12, the panel member, journalist Amir Ivgi, claimed that the demonstrators on Wednesday at the Azrieli intersection threw stones at the police.
The facts:
Ivegi repeated a claim that was never proven by the police and/or any other party.
As of this moment, there is no visual documentation of stones being thrown at the police in that event.

When the right cites Rabin
The right-wing media person Barla Crombie announced on his Twitter account that he recently launched a campaign to support the coup d'état against the background of the recent attacks.
The campaign cites the statement of the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin "without the High Court and without B'Tselem" as an explanation of why the High Court should be changed.
The facts:
this is a complete distortion of things and taken out of context.
The full sentence that Rabin said is: "The Palestinian police will fight Hamas without B'Tselem, without the High Court and without mothers against silence." The phrase was said as a justification for the Oslo Accords, because Arafat's imprisonment is not committed to human rights like Israel is.
Channel 14 in another conspiratorial tantrum
In the program 'The Open Studio' on Channel 14, presenter Sarah B.K. put on the air the channel's commentator Yaakov Bardogo last Wednesday after the demonstrations across the country.
Among the pearls that the two brought up on the broadcast: the CIA is involved in the police demonstrations and the Shin Bet backed up the "lynching attempt" Mrs. Netanyahu, Obama runs the United States and what is happening in the Narcos program is happening in Israel right now, and another series of conspiratorial accusations against the head of the Shin Bet, the police and the media. The facts: it can be assumed with a high degree of certainty that the CIA is not involved in the protests, Obama is
not
managing the United States, narcos does not happen here, the commander of the Tel Aviv district did not know about Sara Netanyahu's haircut and therefore flew abroad, the Israel Police and the Shin Bet did not back up the "lynching attempt" because the lady was safely rescued from the barber shop and there was no lynching attempt at all .
What did Afif Abu Moch forget?
The panelist and media person Afif Abu Moch claimed in the program 'Electoral Area' on Channel 13 about Gantz and Lapid that they are 'to this day afraid to include an Arab candidate in the list'.
The facts:
The Yesh Atid party has an Arab candidate in the 29th place, Muhammad Abu Al Hijah.
FYI Lior Kenan: Netanyahu is not an economist
In the 'Friday' program on Channel 13, the channel's reporter Lior Keenan criticized Minister Orit Strock who ignored the warnings of senior economists about the consequences of the coup d'état on Israel's economy and said in an interview that "Netanyahu is an excellent economist".
Keinan later said herself, in her own words, that "Netanyahu is, by the way, a really excellent economist and brought Israel out of an economic crisis in the past."
The facts:
contrary to what is claimed, Netanyahu is not an economist.
An economist is a graduate of an academic degree in economics.
Eldad Yaniv's weekly: Who carried out the disengagement?
The media person Eldad - 'My camp' - Yaniv, tweeted among other things that "we did not involve you during the disengagement nor during Oslo. We did not want to have any procedure of negotiations".
The facts:
The secession was led by the Likud party.
