The professor exposes Channel 12's hypocrisy: "As long as it's their officials"

On Channel 14's program "The Patriots," Prof. Moshe Cohen-Eliya attacked Channel 12, accusing it of hypocrisy in covering security failures by the Shin Bet and Mossad. He argued that the channel's stance toward officials changes based on their identity—defending "their officials" and attacking others, such as Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar and Mossad chief David Barnea.

On Channel 14's program "The Patriots," Prof. Moshe Cohen-Eliya harshly attacked Channel 12, accusing it of hypocrisy in covering security failures by the Shin Bet and Mossad. According to him, the channel's stance toward officials is inconsistent and depends on their identity: "Their faith in officials is a function of who the officials are." He noted that Channel 12 usually defends officials, "as long as it's their officials." However, he said, when it comes to failures involving Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar and Mossad chief David Barnea, the channel changes its tune and attacks them aggressively. The professor questioned the shift in approach: "How much foam and aggression did they show toward the Shin Bet and Mossad? Suddenly they attack the Shin Bet and Mossad, why? Because it's Zini and Gofman." The article presents internal media criticism of Channel 12, using arguments from a single interviewee, without presenting Channel 12's response or additional sources.
