Serge from Babka<p>Thirdly, as the previous article in the last post mentions, they're using the government to control the report of ratings, allowing the government to influence the flow of money into not just public, but private broadcasters!</p><p>And lastly they're trying to shut down Galgalatz. While Galgalatz is officially "Army Radio", as a new listener, I consider it more of an eclectic radio station that also caries news, a bit like France's FIP, if FIP also carried the news. It's independence means it can do interesting and experimental radio, such as playing an entire album, and cross genres.</p><p><a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/coalition-push-to-privatize-state-media-continues-with-bill-to-sell-off-army-radio/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">timesofisrael.com/coalition-pu</span><span class="invisible">sh-to-privatize-state-media-continues-with-bill-to-sell-off-army-radio/</span></a></p><p>If you love Israel, then you know that Israel must have independent media, free from government interference.</p><p>If you hate Israel, then you know the importance of independent voices to push back against the government. </p><p>In either case, this should be very concerning to everyone.</p><p>2/2</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>media</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/PublicBroadcasting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicBroadcasting</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Censorship</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/IndependentMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndependentMedia</span></a></p>
Serge from Babka<p>If you hate Israel then you (hopefully) want to see it do better.</p><p>If you love Israel, then hopefully you want to see it thrive.</p><p>In either case, you should be talking about the government's attack on media in Israel, which they are waging on multiple fronts.</p><p>Firstly, the government has cut ties with Haaretz.

Molly White<p>This is also a great way to follow newsletters without your email inbox getting jammed up.

Strypey<p>"OK, so we have this free-flowing media space. We've deconstructed it, we've demystified it, right, and we have a DIY media. Well, a couple of things happened to change all that.
