Netanyahu accuses Channel 12 owners of ‘terror attack against democracy’
By TOI staff Today, 4:06 am 2 Edit
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday night stepped up his attacks on Channel 12 over its coverage of the criminal cases he is a suspect in, taking aim at the channel’s owners and senior executives.
In a live Facebook video, the prime minister named Avi Nir, the CEO of Keshet, the operator of Channel 12; Avi Weiss, the CEO of Keshet’s news company; and major Keshet shareholders Yitzhak Tshuva and Drorit Wertheim. He accused them of carrying out a “terror attack against democracy†by “pulling the strings†of Channel 12 crime reporter Guy Peleg, who has broadcast extensive leaks from the cases against Netanyahu.
Netanyahu claimed that the four executives had a vendetta against him because “they think I’m trying to break up their monopoly.†He did not specify what monopoly he was referring to.

This seems slightly similar to some criticisms Trump has made. At times, it is warranted. I think one also, needs to be careful some that they don't come off sounding "unhinged".
