Ya'alon: Media Protects Corrupt Politicians
The Jerusalem Post reports that today former IDF chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. (res.) Moshe Ya'alon told Army Radio:
"Politicians have learned that if they lead a move of disengagement, realignment or caving in, the mainstream of public opinion, and I refer chiefly to the media, will support them . . . .
"I read the words of some journalists who are considered to be senior [members of the press]. There is corruption there that I think brings politicians to realize that if they want to be protected by the media and given 'reprieves' for professional failures and moral issues, they should proceed in certain directions. I certainly suspect that we are now experiencing such a case."
Ya'alon doesn't identify those senior journalists who aren't doing their job as they should, but we can.
