1. closing
colin   (12.18.11)
Channel 10to close Wondeful news Less waste They did not make a profit and did not try to balance the books. Close all govrnment deptments making a loss
2. Oh Please
Israeli TV Viewer   (12.18.11)
There is no political persecution here. Channel 10 mainly broadcasts the worst kind of trash and pays astronomical salaries to its "stars". Why should the Israeli taxpayer have to pick up the tab? If Kirshenbaum is so worried let him cut his salary in half first and then ask for help.
3. Pompous nonsense from a uber select class
Al   (12.18.11)
of self anointed bellyachers. Here's a newsflash for you. Ideas and thoughts all have a marketplace. If you are not appealing to people and those people are not ready to sponsor you, well guess what, they simply dont want to hear you. Get a clue..either change your tune or get out of the business,
4. bye bye democraty Hello Theocracy!
Sam ,   Paris   (12.18.11)
The beginning of the end, bye bye democraty hello theocracy :-( Israel is endangered Because the country will be guided by brainwashed jews who will see only one Tv news, read only one newspaper, slowly, step, by step, ,with a little knife, Netanyahou is killing democraty and kissing the theocracy cause he doesn't want to disturb religious people
5. All you 10-afficionados:You'll always have AlJezeera!
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.18.11)
6. Natural development: like in the USA
Tom ,   USA   (12.18.11)
All listeners supported, hard left radio and TV station went down for lack of money from the small leftist audience. First was "Air America", a radical leftist station, recently National Public Radio had to do house cleaning for their leftist bias: to fire its Leftist Jewess boss. In the US leftist stations have the most vocal, vociferous talking point and the smallest listener numbers. They couldn't survive without gov.ment (NPR) or support from leftist billionaires like Soros and his group.
7. #4. Sam: Paris: France is worse!
Tom ,   USA   (12.18.11)
LES LOIS DE DISCOURS (Speech laws) strictly limit what a citizen permitted or prohibited to say without legal retributions. Even innocuous wording or diction can entail severe monetary punishment; - please stop pontificating untrue notions. Ici on parle francais.
8. Save Arutz 10!
Shira and Sami ,   Israel   (12.18.11)
Let’s save the pluralism in Israel Let’s save the right to freedom of opinion and expression in Israel Let’s save Arutz Eser (Channel 10) Let’s create an account where most of the 500 000 of Kikar Medina and most the other 500 000 that stayed at home watching the TV on September 3rd 2011 can make a donation and save Arutz 10 ( Channel 10). We are ready to donate 200 shekels; 500 000 X 100 = 50 000 000 (Fifty millions) Don’t let the dance of some, when the vote came out to allow the closing of Arutz 10, will be the last dance of Israel’s pluralism. Shira and Sami
9. #6 AIr America boss now on Israel TV
MediaRevolutionNow! ,   Jerusalem Israel   (12.18.11)
The bankrupt Air America Boss you refer to is now on MSMBC our left wing Israel TV has just added it to our "package of left wing media choices" as if we have any other Channel 10 along with That goes to show you who is running our media (into the ground) picking up a provenly failed program and sticking us with it out of ideology the "educational channell 8 is and was 24/7 non stop hateful leftwing propaganda Kirschenbaum is a leftwing mafiosa who no one dares oppose his vicious hate filled tongue has plagued us for years. Lets hope this is the begining of a new and balanced media era in Israel MSMBC will fail here too.
10. #8.Shira: If so easy, just do it!
Tom ,   USA   (12.19.11)
If you leftists want Arutz 10 then collect the money and pay for it. It's that simple. The problem is that you leftists "want to keep the cake and eat it too" - says the wizard. Bashing the gov.ment with your adversary's money. Classic socialist idea: "what is yours is mine, what is mine is not yours".
11. why should the State bail them out?!
nadav ,   tlv   (12.19.11)
their is no conspiracy to see the channel close. that is utter none sense and senstationalism based on their self-inflated sense of importance. Channel 2 and even channel 1 have had excellent, groundbreaking reportage against this and other governments and they are still in business. The bottom line is that Channel 10 chooses to create idiotic reality TV and using their news and morning shows to shamelessly plug this content; their so called investigative news is frequently sensationalist, baseless, melodramatic and lacking in journalistic professionalism. Aside from that, they are (and should be) privately owned- the state and our tax money owes them nothing! If they want to be a voice of the Left, then let the Left pay for them, like a Ted Turner pays for CNN!
12. #9. Interesting info- and the good thing
(12.19.11)
There is good thing among bad ones: the Internet has rendered obsolete the old media. More and more people gather the news from the Net instead of politically biased media "talking heads" or authors who are pushing a particular agenda. We are at the very beginning of the Internet-Media revolution, so as it matures over time these leftist propagandists will lose their influence.
