Channel 14 filed a petition with the court Wednesday morning, asking it to compel the Democrats party to allow its journalists to cover the party's events, according to the channel's own report. The move escalates a dispute that began when the Democrats barred Channel 14 from its primaries last month.
Channel 14 filed a petition with the court on Wednesday morning, seeking an order to compel the Democrats party to allow its journalists to cover the party's events. The channel's own report framed the petition as a demand that the Democrats 'let our people into the party's events.' As The Zioneer has previously reported, the Democrats party barred Channel 14 from covering its primary elections in July, citing the channel's affiliation. The Central Elections Committee chairman later urged parties to ensure equal media access. The Israel Bar Association also called for an investigation of Channel 14 over incitement allegations. The petition is the latest legal move in the ongoing dispute over media access to political events.
