Cable News CEO Facing Criminal Investigation?
/
When it comes to finding an unbiased cable news operation, you might have a better chance of finding Big Foot.
Fox News is in Trump’s pocket. CNN and MSNBC are shilling for the Dems and now it looks like cable news startup i24 news might be facing an investigation for their leanings.
Sources tell FTVLive that the Tel Aviv, Israel based channel’s CEOFrank Melloul, is now facing a possible investigation into alleged corruption and bribery.
The Times of Israel reports that members of Israel's parliament have asked the nation's Attorney General to investigate Melloul and i24News, following an exhaustive report.
Citing named and unnamed i24 employees past/present, the reports say the channel strongly tilted its coverage in favor of right-wing prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to the reports, the channel squelched coverage of Netanyahu's criminal cases, blocked Netanyahu critics and election opponents from appearing on the air, and dumped the main news anchor in Israel following criticism of him by the Prime Minister's family.
Over the past six months, top U.S. based anchors and reporters have left i24News. The list includes former CBS Newsman Dan Raviv, former NBC/MSNBC journalist David Shuster, and former Fox News Channel diplomatic correspondent Nina Larsen. None have spoken publicly.
It will be interesting to see what Israel's Attorney General discovers. A spokesperson for i24News denies the bribery and corruption allegations and encourages viewers to watch the channel.
