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 Ayala Hasson major newspapers and radio stations, not to mention Channel Two, have nightly news show, has told a thrown dozens upon dozens of story of high-level corruption reporters at this story, includ- without naming a single source ing their best investigators.
