News Anchor Maayan Adam Faces Backlash for Praising Former PM Naftali Bennett
Channel 12 news anchor Maayan Adam is under heavy criticism online after expressing strong admiration for former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett during an interview.
During Bennett's appearance on the news program, Adam reportedly told him, "I love you" and expressed a desire to see him "in positions of power." She also admitted, "I won't succeed in being objective."
The anchor's remarks sparked outrage among many social media users who accused her of failing to maintain journalistic objectivity. Television critic Einav Schiff commented on the situation, drawing a parallel to another anchor's perceived lack of criticism and questioning if news channels should strive for more balanced reporting.
Journalist Yinon Magal sarcastically remarked about the situation, referencing Channel 14, a different news outlet, as a "propaganda channel."
