MK Merav Michaeli tweeted out the following criticism of PM Benjamin Netanyahu acting as Minister of Communication in his allowing Channel 10 to close rather than bail them out. She calls it harming democracy.

ראש הממשלה בנימין נתניהו מגבה את שר התקשורת בנימין נתניהו בסגירת ערוץ 10. כשפועלים לביטול הדמוקרטיה לא צריך כלב שמירה.

In response to this tweet I pointed out to Michaeli that as a Member of Knesset who voted in favor of a law to shut down a newspaper it is hypocritical to be upset about the closing of Channel 10 which is really happening due to financial mismanagement and the government is simply not bailing it out and calling that damaging to democracy.

I still await a response.

Truth is though, it is not just the tweet above, or Meirav Michaeli. It is many politicians upset at Netanyahu and the government for not bailing out Channel 10, while many of them were in favor of the Israel Hayom bill.
