What The Public Thinks

From this month's Tel Aviv University's Peace Index:-

Apparently in the context of the low level of trust in the existing institutions that characterizes Israeli society today, only a minority — 32% — give high professional credit to the media and think the information on the Arab world that the Israeli media provides is objective, while the majority — 53% — think it is filtered and influenced by political and security interests. This, however, is a flattering assessment compared to the view of the foreign media’s objectivity; here only 10.5% think they report objectively whereas 73% see their reporting as biased by such interests and others.


Alan Johnston, where are you?
