Keren Neubach: It is ok that all the news program hosts on Israeli
television and radio are left wing
Dr. Aaron Lerner Date: 24 July 2014

In a discussion on Keren Neubach's "Agenda" program on Israel Radio Reshet
Bet this morning, Neubach accepted the assertion by Kalman Liebskind that
literally all the news program hosts on the Israeli television stations as
well as mainstream radio stations are left wingers but argued that this was
not relevant because right wing guests on the programs are afforded the
opportunity to express themselves.

Liebskind disagreed, arguing that the program hosts determine the content of
their programs by the issues that they raise and the questions that they
ask. Liebskind noted that before the decision to launch a ground operation
in the Gaza Strip was made that literally every one the news program hosts
opposed such a move and reaped praise on PM Netanyahu for his restraint.
Neubach did not challenge the assertion but instead took the position that
it didn't matter if all the program hosts are left wingers.
