Israel May Get to Have Its Own ‘Fox News’

Channel 20, which is considered the only Israeli television channel that leans right of center as opposed to the left, has filed a request for permission to create its own news department.

Under the terms of the tender by which it was created, the channel currently must produce interview shows relating to current events, but news broadcasts are optional. If the channel wishes to broadcast news, it must first receive permission from the Cable and Satellite Authority. […]

Israelis who do not ascribe to left-wing views have yearned for many years for a television news outlet that will reflect their viewpoint. Instead, they have been subjected to the fiercely leftist channels 2 and 10.

Channel 2’s main news anchor, Yonit Levy, has been noted as having a habit of expressing her revulsion from nationalist guests by tilting her body away from them, as can be seen in the interview with Jewish Home leader Naftali Bennett …

yes a holdover from her socialist days....
but i think the permission will be forthcoming, perhaps after some political wranging of course

now then,
wouldn’t it be nice if the American media felt it had permission to do some genuine newscasts for a change!?

(enough of this Pravda party line krap! even the proletariat has tuned out already....)

This is a REALLY good idea.
Most of Israel news is just re-prints of NYT and WP with some local enhancements.

What Channel 20 needs is a kosher Kimberly Guilfoyle and Andrea Tantaros and it would take off like a Mervka tank on the attack.

Maybe model Bar Rafael could do some of the shows. She’s so hot that she’d evaporate the Red Sea.

Or an MK who's proudly conservative, Ayelet Shaked.

During some of the coverage of the recent election, I read more than once that Israel Hayom, a free newspaper owned by American Sheldon Adelson, was the only conservative paper in Israel, or the only one that more or less supported Netanyahu. I thought the Jerusalem Post was considered conservative. Is anyone familiar with Israeli Newspapers?

Aye, Aye, Captain.

Shaked in Hebrew can mean “Quiet” as in a “quiet beauty”.

I’m still a Bar Rafael fan. She can put the “K” is kosher just by smiling.

Bar Refaeli is a big lib, not that anyone would notice.

Haaretz - so far left on most occasions that it would make the CPUSA’s American red rag, “Peoples Weekly World” seem like the Washington Times.

Most of the others are left/center to farther left. A result of a deeply ingrained socialist strain in many of the original founders of Israel.

THAT IS WHY THE SOVIET UNION VOTED TO ADMIT A NEWLY BORN ISRAEL TO THE UN. THEY HOPED TO HAVE A MARXIST-ORIENTED STATE IN THE MIDDLE EAST FROM WHICH TO SPREAD THEIR OPERATIONS.

By the way, one of Obama’s top Middle East advisors, Robert Malley, had a father Simon who was a founder of one of three Egyptian Communist Parties in 1948 (all would have been pro-Moscow as Red China didn’t exist at that time). THe whole family was expelled from France in the 1970’s or early 80’s as security risks because of their father’s pro-SOviet (probably KGB funded project) publication “L”Asia-Afrique”.

Wonder how the boy ever got a security clearance to act unofficially as Obama’s secret contact with Assad and Hamas, as well as working for Pres. Clinton? Now he’s back as a key Middle East advisor. See: “JNS.ORG, March 9, 2015, article “Obama campaign adviser fired after Hamas revelation is back — in the White House!, www.theamericanmirror.com.

Malley is now a Senior Director at the National Security Council and just named as “Special Assistant to the President and White House Coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf Region”, according to this article.

We need more on Malley.

MAN! I don’t understand a word of Hebrew but she is MUCH worse than Ted Baxter at talking over and interrupting her guests. I would be like ‘Lady! Shut up and let me talk!’

just saying...
