Channel 14 Analyst Accuses Media of Spreading Fake News
Avi Shoshan, a panelist on Channel 14's program 'HaPatriotim' (The Patriots), sharply criticized the Israeli media, alleging it deliberately disseminates fake news to mislead the public. Shoshan stated that this is a calculated method to create a sense of impending catastrophe.
He argued that the media's intention is not mere error but a deliberate strategy to sow panic and confusion. Shoshan provided examples of what he termed false claims, including assertions that Prime Minister Netanyahu would not hold elections or that the right-wing would steal the elections. He characterized these as attempts to constantly 'flood things' and construct a false narrative.
Shoshan urged the public to be vigilant and critical of the information they consume, suggesting this pattern of spreading misinformation is characteristic of certain media outlets. The comments were made in response to host Yinon Magal's remarks about 'nonsense' the media throws around.
