Primary source Internal intake · 1 reviewed intake signal · Desk window 19:50

TL;DR

Journalist Tal Gilboa charged on Sunday that major Israeli television channels chose not to broadcast Prime Minister Netanyahu's press conference, calling it "consciousness engineering disconnected from reality."

01 · THE DISPATCH

Journalist Tal Gilboa criticized major Israeli news channels on Sunday evening for choosing not to broadcast the prime minister's press conference, describing the omission as 'consciousness engineering disconnected from reality.' The remark echoes a similar sentiment expressed on Saturday by Channel 14 journalist Tamir Mor, who questioned why Channels 11, 12, and 13 refuse to air the prime minister's Q&A sessions with reporters, given that those same outlets often accuse him of dodging direct questions. The critique adds to a recurring public and media debate over editorial choices regarding coverage of the prime minister.
