Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party has released a new AI-generated rap video that satirizes prominent Israeli journalists and media figures, portraying them as part of a "media factory" that fabricates controversies and manipulates public opinion. The over three-minute video, shared by Netanyahu, features AI caricatures of well-known news anchors, commentators, and reporters, including Amnon Abramovich, Guy Peleg, Ben Caspit, Raviv Drucker, Barak Ravid, Ronen Bergman, Dana Weiss, Danny Kushmaro, Aviad Glickman, andברוך קרא.
Set to a rhythmic beat with AI-generated music, lyrics, and scenes, the clip depicts these media personalities not as reporters but as stars of a satirical musical. One prominent scene shows AI versions of these figures dancing on a news studio desk under the caption "Bluff Edition of the Week," suggesting that the dramas reported are manufactured rather than factual. The video further visualizes this concept with a dark industrial factory setting, implying that media storms are produced on an assembly line.
Additional AI-generated figures appear in the video, including one resembling former Defense Minister Ehud Barak and another resembling Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, suggesting their involvement in a fabricated narrative. The video includes scenes where journalists are shown throwing white powder in the air, symbolizing the creation of new scandals, and concludes with a depiction of a satisfied audience, reminiscent of "The Handmaid's Tale," readily accepting the fabricated news.
Netanyahu shared the video on social media, accompanying it with a post claiming that "the left-wing media will continue to lie to hide the truth: Izencott has no government without the Arab parties, Ya'alon, Liberman, and Bennett." However, the video's focus is clearly on the media figures themselves, transformed by AI into performers in a musical spectacle that critiques their perceived role in shaping public discourse.
