The Zioneer has published a critique of the Hebrew-language news site Maariv, accusing it of spreading fabricated scares and clickbait. The critique argues that the site is no longer a newspaper but a click-driven platform that exploits fear-mongering for ad revenue.
The Zioneer's critique, published on its intelligence desk platform, targets the Maariv website, accusing it of prioritizing clickbait over journalistic integrity. The text states that Maariv has become a 'fantasy site' that fabricates scares and engages in 'consciousness engineering' to drive traffic. The critique also notes that the site's sole purpose is to generate ad revenue from clicks. In a related context, The Zioneer had previously reported on a separate critique of Maariv by the NZiv platform, which accused the outlet of stoking antisemitism fears for clicks. The current critique adds to a growing body of criticism of the site's editorial practices.
