Journalistic Ethics

The Channel 14 researcher did indeed err in identifying Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, but it is more disturbing to think what would have happened if he had not erred: the legal campaign cannot include personal physical harassment and humiliation beyond what is already mandated by the painful and necessary process of criminal trial.

Just a day after Channel 12 attacked Channel 14 for alleged lack of professional ethics, they were caught in a severe error. In an investigation regarding KKL appointments, the channel mistakenly used a photo of fallen YASAM fighter Eli Alikashvili, identifying him as someone who received a position through Likud political maneuvering.

And contrary to the fantasies spread by politicians, this madness is not going anywhere - even if the government changes.

Shai Glick, CEO of the B'Tsalmo organization, has filed an urgent complaint with the Second Authority for Television and Radio, demanding a formal violation procedure against Channel 13 following derogatory remarks made about MK Kati Shitrit during a broadcast.

Pat McAfee admitted that a tip from Shams Charania helped him profit from a bet. Journalist Jeff Pearlman slammed the network, claiming ESPN has abandoned journalistic integrity.
