IBA'S DIRECTOR URI PORAT YIELDS TO PRESSURE

The following text is adapted from Arutz 7 News Service, Tuesday, June 16, 1998 / Sivan 22, 5758  

Arutz-7 has learned that Israel Broadcasting Authority Directory Uri Porat has decided to allow news editors Natan Guttman and Elisha Spiegelman to retain their positions.  The two wrote Porat a letter of apology, acknowledging that there had been a measure of "doctoring" of a particular film clip last month. The clip, which was aired on the Mabat nightly news show, combined a scene of a smiling and waving Prime Minister Netanyahu together with a few seconds of anti-Arab incitement in the background, giving the false impression that Netanyahu encouraged the incitement.
Porat's attorney, Chaim Misgav, told Arutz-7 that Porat did not receive strong backing from the government ministers or from the Prime Minister in his intention to remove the two editors from their positions, and that there was terrific counter-pressure against him.
