(IsraelNN.com) A former senior editor at Kol Yisrael (IBA) Radio's Reshet Bet (Network 2), Dr. Chanan Naveh, admitted Monday that the IBA news staff, led by current MK Shelly Yechimovich, manipulated news reports in order to cause the IDF's retreat from Lebanon in 2000.
Mentioning then-host of the morning show Yechimovich and Military Affairs Correspondent Carmela Menashe by name, Naveh said: "the Kol Yisrael news room…took upon ourselves as a mission – perhaps an unstated one – to get the IDF out of Lebanon."
Dr. Naveh, who now teaches journalism, added: "Every news item that described what was going on in southern Lebanon, I have no doubt that we emphasized it… I have no doubt that we advanced an agenda that was controversial in the general public."
Naveh spoke in a panel at the Haifa Radio Conference, which is being broadcast on IBA radio. The recording of the panel discussion Naveh spoke on can be heard here.
