Nobody is going to win by the time
Israel's latest scandal is over.
LARRY DERFNER ISRAEL CORRESPONDENT
T
hese are anxious, edgy
days for Israeli journalists.
The Netanyahu govern-
ment could well fall if the
"Bar-On for Hebron" story turns
out true, or the state-run TV sta-
tion that broke the story could
well be ruined if the story turns
out false.
Beyond killing the credibili-
ty, if not the existence, of Israel
Television's Channel One, the
disproving of the story would
devastate all of the country's
news media, which are already
distrusted if not despised by the
government and much of the
public.
"This is one of the biggest
tests the news media in this
country has ever faced," says
Razi Gutterman, head of the
National Federation of Israeli
Journalists.
Channel One, until this
decade the only television sta-
tion in Israel, is taking an enor-
mous gamble. Ayala Hasson,
a 34-year-old, relatively inexpe-
rienced crime reporter on a
mation the same day she broad-
cast the story, and that it was
aired that same night for fear
that the competition, Channel
Two, also had the story and was
preparing to go with it. A day
seems a terribly short time to
investigate a story so complex,
so accusatory and so important
especially when it cannot be
substantiated on the air.
In addition, it wasn't until two
days after she broke the story
that Ms. Hasson reported that
Mr. Netanyahu did not know
about the alleged deal whereby
Mr. Bar-On would let Shas
Knesset Member Arye Deri off
easy on his corruption trial.
Asked if he thought Channel
One was right to run the story
without any on-the-air proof,
Shalom Rosenfeld, retired edi-
tor of the daily Ma'ariv and
elder statesman of Israeli jour-
nalism, said: "It's their duty to
run the story provided that the
editor and station manager have
checked the information and are
satisfied that it is correct and,
of course, that they
have cleared the sto-
ry with their legal
adviser."
As it happened,
though, the story had
not been shown to the
show's legal adviser
before broadcast.
Finally, Israel's
