The media will find it hard, if not impossible, to recover from the damage and loss of trust by a public upon which they depend for their living.
One of the reasons that the Zionist Union of Herzog/Livni dropped from a lead of 4 points to lose the election was because they ran a campaign of “We or them” without explaining to the Israeli public who “We” were.
They failed to bring in candidates representing the “We” of Israeli society. No kippa-wearing people. No Russian or prominent Anglo or French immigrants. No people from the periphery of Israeli society.
The “We” became alien, unrepresentative of the majority of the Israeli voting public.
The Herzog/Livni camp ran a campaign of fear of Bibi, while Bibi ran a campaign of fear of a nuclear Iran. The voters bought Bibi’s message, not Herzog’s. Zionist Union campaign manager, Reuven Adler, who inherited this fear slogan, admitted after the defeat that he disliked this strategy from the beginning.
The ugly Israeli media won the election for Bibi.

“We” was probably Obama and Herzog.
His Campaign Slogan was , “Hope And Change” ?
My guess would be that he got fewer votes than Netanyahu.

The way the parties line up, Bibi was going to be PM even if Herzog’s ZU had gotten more votes. The MSM was just misleading.
Tactical blunder on their part.
Life of Julia and War On Women have been proven the winning strategies.
