It is all depends on who is the “paritz”….
To your approach Sharon is the “Paritz” but for many others the Paritzs” are Peres, Bailin, Sarid, Avnery and many more that are related to the Left’s Law and Newspapers Hegemony.

So as much as Mazuz is “His Master’s Voice”, an assumption that I simply do not believe in, so Arbel is “His Master’s Voice”…
Sorry, I DO BELIEVE IN THE LATER ONE!

Be smart, do not go there, this sword is dual edge, you know…

Really?

It is enough to read Haaretz and Yediot to be very much convinced that the Left’s ‘Newspaper Hegemony’ do exist, Ho yes, it do exist, big time.

Maariv is a ‘Center’ newspaper and usually it is pretty balanced though you could find articles leaning sometimes to the Right and sometimes to the Left.

So, out of the three major and most influential Israeli newspapers two are definitely Leftists (All of it inside out) and one is a ‘Center’.
So how come you are opposing my posting? Have I said something that is not anchored in the fact and truth?

Well, I know, the truth may be painful, but hey, consider that, it may free your mind as well…

...and we did not mention the TV stations yet, right? Miki, Yavin, Even…..and the list goes on and on.

Actually I thought about noting the other newspapers as you have mentioned.

A second thought brought me to eliminate those newspapers from the list.

I am not precisely sure but it seems to me that Maarive, Haaretz and Yediot are taking nearly 70% of the Israeli daily newspapers’ circulation combined. Noting the other newspapers would take the statistics to its level of misleading results.

It should be clear to you that if we to mention 10 newspapers but 7 of them are taking 30% of the readers’ market and 3 of them are taking 70% of the readers’ market (Estimated) therefore bringing forward them all as one package is like portraying a face of balanced approach in the Israeli media while actually it is misleading and untrue weight-wise.

Being an avid reader of all the three big once (on a daily basis) as well all the others that you have mentioned I would say that:…..
Yediot used to be balanced newspaper about 15-20 years ago, since then the newspaper went through a serious metamorphosis and it definitely should be considered as undercover (circulation consideration is trying to hide it unsuccessfully)soft Leftist’s approach newspaper.

Haaretz Newspaper is in no doubt taking the Leftist approach and sometimes even leaning towards the extreme, hard Left, an approach that is expressed by some of its journalists ((Gideon Levi, Amir Oren, Amira Hess (BTW I do like very much hers companionate writing style) and others)).

Maarive is the big question mark on the equation and about it the jury is still out. I am leaning towards the approach that says: It is a ‘Center’ approach newspaper.

The above is portraying the objective approach; sure enough we may find others that will try to shake up my assumptions from all sort of personal inclinations.

First is first, I never called the Leftists Newspapers a ‘Mafia’ I have called them ‘Leftist Hegemony’, the difference in Negative/positive/criminal connotation is obvious.

Due to the fact that you are insist on categorizing Yediot in the ‘Center’ and I am saying that Yediot is Leftist Newspaper I have no other choice but to get into the bean counting, so here it is (I have picked up journalists names randomly and incidentally):

Yediot’s Leftist Journalists (Left and extreme Left):

Yair Lapid
Silvy Keshet
Meyir Shalev
Gidi Vitz
Yuval Karny
Tzadok Yeheskeely
Hen Shalita
B. Michael
Oded Shalom
A. B. Yehoshua
Shlomi Eldar
Orli Azulai
Ofer Shelah
Mordehi Gilat
Ori Orbach

Yediot’s ‘Center’ Journalists:

Nahum Barnea
Shimeon Shifer
Sima Kadmon
Sever Plotzki

Yediot’s ‘Right’ Juornalists:

Ori Elitzur

(My apology to the journalists mentioned above in case I have misspelled their names).

Sure enough Yediot is having more Journalists but the ratio between Left and Right will remain basically unchanged.

Luckily for Yediot many people are buying and reading Yediot due to the obvious recognized and appreciated quality of the newspaper ‘Center’ Journalists like Nahum, Shimeon, Sima and Sever, without them? Well, I suspect Maarive would have come into the 44% circulation range instead. Oh, sorry, almost forgot Dana Spector, she is hilarious.

In addition and that is personal, I have found the Yediot’s fonts and pages/paragraphs format easier, more pleasant to the eyes then Maariv’s.

That is up to the beholder's eye

Maybe here is the problem; you know “Them” personally. I do not know “Them” at all.

All I do know is “Their” articles and I am judging journalists/publicists usually by their most important output, their articles.

On the other hand you may be correct but not from the same angle’s view yours (and mine) intention is seems to be. Calling many of the Israeli Journalist Leftists is doing unjust with the term.

I am not going to get into terminology issues here but my senses and feelings telling me that any relations between the term Left and many of our Journalists that are considering themselves as such is incidentally.
They are calling themselves Leftists; they are considering themselves “Cool” and “In” by that, adapting the sense of “belong to the Branja”, opening many doors in the government civil servants’ offices for them, sometimes even a generous funds are involved (like the “Fund for Israel’s” generous funds circulations acts), but that is not making them real Left.

Random observation will show clearly that the Israeli public is not a dumb one. The public do feel the phony behavior of the so called Left journalists and rejecting it in droves. The poor, pitiful situation of the Israeli Left is the proof.
When certain journalists are advocating relentlessly the approach that saying Oslo agreement brought only good to us, when they are advocating day and night that the current intifada is our fault/wrong doing and the Palestinians are not having much to do with (except the Terror that came, to many of our journalists’ approach just out of the thin air), then sure enough the public majority is despises the Israeli Left.
The Israeli public with his healthy senses is recognizing the phony behavior of many of our journalists.

To clarify my approach I do think that Oslo Agreement was intended to do good for the two nations only that short sighting in its planning by its initiators from our side and poor implementation/inspection (from both sides) rocked the cradle and brought the Middle East to the current chaotic situation.
The current intifada? Sure enough we are sharing an equal blame with the Palestinians on its initiation and results; we can not blame one side only here. I am saying it again to all those Palestinians and Israel’s accusers; we can not blame one side only.

The Israeli Left (Whoever “They” are) actually neglected / abundant the Israeli public, The so called “Left” is talking to the people by way of those journalists that are having a questionable relation and understanding of what socialism, Zionism, Judaism and democracy is. No wonder then that the public majority is despising “Them”, us.

Instead, the Israeli Left movement should regroup; start talking to the public in the eyes’ level, getting involved with the people’s problem on a one on one basis, being (Truly) caring and show caring.
The Left should make the Israeli public understand that he do care about the people, all people, settlers included, wherever they are, to make those 300.000 people understand that they are part of us and we will take care of them, we understand their feelings and stress, we have to hug and comfort them even if the political circumstances are forcing us to evacuate certain amount of them, to stop the internal hatred and reveres the quest toward a civil war in our country.
The Left should spread our desire for unity instead of breaking us apart as it is done by now. The public is not dumb (again), a call for unity and acting upon will win hearts and minds, specifically in this times.

The Left should stop the race between its politicians trying to overcome each other’s social “achievements”, by spreading and wasting our national economical assets, in short, start behaving in a responsible manner. Increasing the support for single Mom families from 20K (which is justified) to 160K families in a relatively very short time is a national disaster not a social system).
Left’s leaders should have the courage to stand in front of the public and say: “Sorry, we can not afford this and that, we are a country under the stress of a “like-War” and that all we can afford.
Stopping interested and powerful blackmailing groups in excessive payment to its members even if those groups are called a “Blue Collar Workers Groups”, telling them: “that all we can afford take it or leave it”.

The Left should recognize in the existence of the Right Wing supporters and start talking to them at the same fashion as described above creating a dialog that may convince the other side of the political spectrum supporters in the Left sincerity (Provided it was applied that way). After all we are all one nation that only divided by different political opinions and that could be bridged out.
The Left should become honest with itself and the Israeli public (Not a dumb one, remember?), recognizing the stress and negative feeling of many of the Right Wing people towards our judicial system, those feelings that leading many people to despise this system and consider it an enemy (Not without a merit).

Remebmer Ben-Aharon’s famous phrase (the Histadrut Chief, then) after the great turnover of power from the Haavoda party to the Licud, the same very night? “If that what the public did for us then the public do not know what he wants….”
Really? The public do not know what he wants? Really?

The same ignorance we are experiencing for that many years by our politicians and their followers/collaborators, the journalists.

How many journalists that you know are willing to say the truth (The real fact and truth) to the public? Ten perhaps? Only ten maybe twenty out of the hundreds, if not thousands that are making their leaving in journalism (those that are so called “The guardian dogs of democracy”)?

Is not that all about?
Just to make your day I will attach here O(U)ri Neta’s article from June 19 2004 in NFC (News First Class) I am regarding Uri Neta as one of the best Israel’s publicists in our time…

Interesting enough my English posting was written about 12 hours prior to Neta’s article that published in NFC, Are we psychic or what?

You have entirely missed the point.

The point was (is) that the Left (yours not mine) did not learned anything in the past 25 years and behaving in our days much like as Ben Aharon’s phrase implies namely: “Ignoring large part of the Israeli public wishes and opinion from all sort of strange reasons.

Please review Ir’on Pestinger’s article in NFC’s June 20 2004, you may learn something:

Dubi,

I am going to make you even “Tired” more.

I will give you a hint….

A Canadian influential once asked (based on a lot of similarities between the Canadians and the US Americans) : is you the Canadians and the US Americans are the same? His answer was:
“No, we are not the same. We speak the same language, we eat the same foods, we dress very much alike, we watch the same TV programs but we are definitely not the same”

I am coming from the very core of the Israeli Left, I suspect that you consider yourself Left as well, BUT we are not the same, your Left and mine are different. I suspect that we both know what is wrong in the Left only that I am not afraid to speak out my mind about and you are……..(please fill the blanks).

I want a clean moral left, a left that is answering and (trying) to represent the public majority, a leader of a nation, a movement that is having the potential of uniting the nation, I do not want this movement to become a domain of some hallucinating, strange, edged, dreaming, disconnected people, only then it may get back to power, many here wants the left back in power in any circumstances even if it corrupted and rotten to its roots. No we are definitely not alike.

So here is Rubi Rivlin’s answer from June 20 2004 – NFC, to those, unlike me, “Left”.
Is it important that Mr. Rivlin is coming from the Right? I do not think so.
“Just and truth is universal”:

Now, ask yourself: is Rubi Rivlin is that much mistaken or behind this heavy smoke screen is hiding a big, very big flame?

I know the answer, do you?

Just avoiding a repetition please refers to my last answer to Dubi Kenengiser on the same topic; I hope I have answered it all.

Excuse me!

Is Mordehy Gilat is your source for just and knowledge regarding any event?

This is Mordehy Gilat that brought the Newspapers-Law authorities and police connections to new corrupted heights!

If so then we are in a real, serious problem.
