Critique of News 12's Objectivity

Channel 12 News is many things, but news is not one of them.

And beyond the amateurishness of their investigations, which we'll get to in a moment, look what they broadcast.

But what they didn't bother to do is provide a full disclosure.

Channel 12 News petitioned against my appointment as chair of the Second Authority, their regulator. Yes, this is real.

The regulated body, Channel 12 News, wants to decide who will regulate them, and I probably don't sit well with them,

so they declared war on me, because in their opinion I won't be able to be an objective regulator.

Yes, this is also real.

So let's talk about objectivity today.

And we didn't just find Netanyahu's representatives in the hospital, even a witness in his criminal trial. What do you mean, "found"?

I've been a director at Hadassah since October 2021, long before anyone even talked to me about being a witness

in the Netanyahu trial. In her original police testimony, she said…

that he felt pressure to promote the Bezeq-Walla deal. Yossi, my clever boy, investigative journalism is probably

not your field. We are talking about the Bezeq-Yes deal, not Bezeq-Walla. The Bezeq-Walla deal, and that didn't happen either

by the police, but by the Securities Authority, but in message engineering, 'the police' sounds much more frightening. Just

understand what News 12 is doing to you. And regarding the distortion of things from my testimony, I want to quote from

the transcript of the testimony, when the investigator tried to put words in my mouth and said, 'So, you only understand

that Asar pressured Piger for you to do this quickly,' and I answer, 'Correct,

he requests, he doesn't pressure.' And when the attempts to put words in my mouth continue, I tell him, 'Actually, by phrasing

your questions, you are establishing facts that were not provided by me, while not being faithful to the exact things

I am saying, and this bothers me very much

and is sensitive to me, and I see how you twist things.' The interrogation I underwent by the police was amateurish, negligent,

and biased. Hey Guy, for a change, this time you are almost right. It was a testimony, not an interrogation, and yes,

it was really amateurish and negligent. But oops, it turns out that Yossi Mizrachi's investigation is also zero,

amateurish and negligent. In December '22, she came to court and changed her stance. Maybe you'll stop lying?

To the viewers, I never flipped my testimony. You are the ones who flip, distort, and engineer

reality. Ben-Chai Segev suddenly claimed that no pressure was put on her by Netanyahu and his people. 'I didn't

change my story at all.'

Three objective judges simply sat there with no agenda, who wanted to listen. But on News

12, they haven't heard of objectivity. So when you watch Channel 12 News, it's important to me that you know the truth is

only a recommendation. So

maybe you managed to delay my appointment, but you won't be able to stop my mission. It was never

against you. It was always for the truth and for the public. And Yossi, for you, it's Doctor Yifat Ben-Chai

Segev, to the media, by chance, of course.
