The "BUTBUL
AFFAIR" (3) (continued)
The High Court of Justice rejected
Israel's Media Watch petition (June 1998)
Israel's Media Watch has petitioned
the High Court of Justice to halt any promotion of
Israel Television's Aaron Goldfinger who was involved in
unethically obtaining material to be used against the Israel
Broadcasting Authority's plenum member Gabi Butbul (March 1998).
Adapted from Arutz Sheva News Service,
Tuesday, June 16, 1998 / Sivan 22, 5758
The Supreme Court rejected the petition of Media Watch
against the Israel Broadcasting Authority regarding the Gabi
Butboul case. Butboul was a member of the IBA governing
board against whom the producer of the Popolitika show used his
journalistic investigators to "dig up dirt."
Media Watch claimed that producer Aharon Goldfinger should not
be promoted to Programs Division head of Israel Television.
The court ruled, however, that the letter of apology written by
Goldfinger is sufficient for the matter consider closed.
