Dalia Mazor, the legendary 'Mabat' anchor, who was a news anchor on Channel One for 40 years, was interviewed on the 'Journalist' program hosted by Roy Katz on the Knesset Channel - and noted that the political balance on the public broadcaster's screen has been violated.
She claims that there are many journalists who identify with the right side of the map, and she detects a right-wing agenda infiltrating the channel. "I don't remember so many people from the right side within public broadcasting," she said. "Left-wing broadcasters constantly have to defend their positions.".
There are several journalists at the public broadcasting corporation who are affiliated with the right wing, including Ayla Hasson and Kalman Libeskind - about whom Mazor said: "Kalman Libeskind, we know where he comes from and he doesn't hide his opinions.".

When asked how she identifies those identified with the right, Mazor replied: "I see in the multitude of right-wing broadcasters, from the right to the extreme right, I simply listen and see.".
Mazor added: "In my opinion, this is a clear, blatant shift to the right.".
The media woman, during whose time the left held absolute power on the screen, said that in her opinion, journalists who identify with the left side of the map sometimes have to defend themselves: "I even feel as if left-wing broadcasters have to constantly defend their positions and defend that they are even there, because it is in a completely different place today.".
