Filber's knockout blow: What happened to the forecasts of Channels 11, 12, and 13?
Mati Tuchfeld claims that Channels 11, 12, and 13 presented false polls predicting a collapse of the Likud party, while Shlomo Filber on Channel 14 correctly predicted the outcome. According to him, as the actual vote count progressed, the numbers on the other channels converged with Filber's, proving a coordinated effort to engineer public consciousness.
Mati Tuchfeld argues in his article that for two months, Channels 11, 12, and 13 presented polls forecasting the Likud party would win only 18–20 Knesset seats, while Shlomo Filber on Channel 14 insisted on a different picture. According to Tuchfeld, as the actual vote count progressed, the numbers on the other channels began to approach Filber's. Tuchfeld calls this "deliberate consciousness engineering" aimed at discouraging right-wing voters and suppressing their turnout, asserting it was a coordinated effort rather than a sampling error. The article praises Filber and Channel 14 as the sole "channel of truth."
