Guy Meroz Criticizes Channel 13 Over Controversy Involving Oudiya Pinto
Guy Meroz, a panelist on the show "The Patriots," sharply criticized Israeli Channel 13, calling its broadcasts "trash" amid the controversy surrounding social media star Oudiya Pinto. Pinto sparked outrage after failing to recognize a photo of Yitzhak Rabin during a program aired on Channel 13. Meroz argued that the criticism was misdirected at Pinto rather than the channel itself, which he accused of airing poor-quality content.
In a video that has garnered tens of thousands of views, Meroz said, "We found a scapegoat without addressing the channel that broadcasts this trash." He also referenced the criticism directed at Channel 14, sarcastically suggesting people should instead attack that channel for airing "abominations," while Channel 13 supposedly airs "quality content."
Meroz questioned why the producers of the program, who he believes are responsible, faced no backlash. He called the program's producer a "fool" who scheduled a show exposing "ignorant people of Israel," yet escaped accountability.
Additionally, Meroz disclosed a personal grievance with Channel 13, recalling that he and his wife Orly Vilnai were fired during the COVID-19 pandemic. He claimed the network turned them into "enemies of the people" and refused to allow them to broadcast, even without pay, out of fear. Channel 13 did not provide an official response to these accusations.
Summary: Guy Meroz condemned Channel 13 for poor programming quality amid the Oudiya Pinto controversy, blaming the network rather than Pinto for the backlash. He also revealed past grievances with the channel after being fired during the pandemic.
