Host Ophira Assayag's program raised questions about the loyalties of individuals close to the Prime Minister and within the media landscape, particularly in light of the 'Qatargate' affair. The show displayed a question on screen asking, "Whom does Yonatan Urikh serve?" Urikh is described as a close advisor to the Prime Minister. The article suggests that given the "shameful correspondences" attributed to Urikh, the program should have instead asked, "Whom does Amit Segal serve?" Segal is identified as a senior political commentator on the channel, portrayed as a Likud propagandist.
