The difference between a clown and bismuth is that the former has a limit of humiliation that he will not cross - voila! culture

Ofira Assig reveals the spider and Dega masks from season 3 of "The Masked Singer" (Arch 12)

It's hard to say that it's a big surprise: Boaz Bismut, today a new member of the Knesset and formerly also a media person who in his last stop is also known for his clown performances in the Friday studio, was revealed to be a participant in the program "The Masked Singer".

You staged her on a stage - Keshet 12 prime time - and you made her a lady, only the splendor changed.

So Bismuth was a politician who was prepared to compete in the Likud primaries in the guise of a private person.

Today he is a politician in a cat costume.

We'll come back to the Shimil Bismuth cat, but we'll also remember this time that the dishonor is first of all on the channel, which repeatedly hosts politicians in reality shows - Miki Zohar, David Amsalem and Yifat Shasha Biton are the latest examples.

He turns them into talents, gives them an entertainment hug ("great performance, great vibe") and without criticism, and then indulges in the stages of celebs like Guy Pines, oiling the propaganda machine, putting them in a fundamental conflict of interest and draining the public work.

All of this, of course, in the dumbest program he has to offer: "The masked singer", the most insulting way to offer the public bread and entertainment so that they forget what those politicians actually do when the public is not looking, and when they do look, they do from the bouncer.

clown.

When it repeats again and again and again, you can already understand: this is not a mistake - but a policy.

Keshet is sure that it is good, and that this is what her viewers deserve.

A little over a month ago, when Miki Zohar prepared food for the members of the "VIP Winning Kitchen", I wrote here that the participation of politicians in reality shows is a despicable phenomenon, and I argued that it is "a symbol of the emptying of content: the place where narcissism wins the taste for the whole thing, public work and ideology are abandoned for the sake of competition popularity, and the public arena becomes a joke."

Bismuth's ridiculous appearance on a show like "The Masked Singer" - host Ido Rosenblum called him a member of the Knesset from the Likud, meaning: it can be assumed that he was already an elected official at the time of filming, or at the very least a candidate - is no different: politicians who participate in reality shows obviously humiliate themselves, but You too, the authorities they serve.

They scoff at it all.

We expect serious people to do serious work in these places.

By his pathetic participation in this foolish game, Bismuth the cat, a mischievous cat of his kind, proved that he was no such person.

Perhaps all this should be seen as his public message: infantile politics, carried on the wings of infantile television.

More in Walla!

The kitchen may be winning, but the public is losing: MK Miki Zohar's participation in reality TV is a disgrace

Keshet's policy.

"I've been kicked out, this is not the time for statements," the naked cat playfully said to Ofira Assig, "Let me go home in shame."

It's such a shame that he had no shame when the very offer to participate was on the table.

In the "House of Cards" series, a sly sentence that President Frank Underwood says about a junior figure from his party shines: the essential difference between a clown and a politician is that the former has a line of humiliation that he will not be willing to cross.

The singing kitten from the Likud is just the latest howling example.
