How did such a fateful election campaign become a boring TV product? | With Einav Schiff

TV critic Einav Schiff explains in the 'HaKoteret' podcast episode why elections presented as 'fateful' are perceived as boring on television. According to him, Channel 14 and Netanyahu's communication strategy created a media wall between the blocs, similar to CNN and Fox News, so that Likud is found almost only on Channel 14 and the other side mainly hears Lieberman and Bennett.

TV critic for 'Yedioth Ahronoth' and ynet, Einav Schiff, analyzes in the 'HaKoteret' podcast episode why the current election campaign, presented as 'fateful in the history of the state', is perceived as boring on television and radio. Schiff explains that the gap between the declaration of fatefulness and the media experience is significant, and it is hard to pick three unforgettable events from the campaign. According to him, the entry of Channel 14 and the weakening ratings of the major channels created a 'media wall' between the blocs: on one side, one mainly hears Lieberman and Bennett, and on the other side, Likud is found almost only on Channel 14. Schiff compares the situation to the separation between CNN and Fox News in the USA, and argues that the boredom stems from channel polarization and not from a lack of interest in the elections themselves.
