Embarrassing Israel TV

I am now watching Channel One TV right now. A program called "Press Conference".

The two guests discussing the American elections are Bob Simons and Ethan Bronner, respectively of CBS and the NYTimes. It's in real-time broadcast, not pre-recorded.

This is Israel. We speak Hebrew. If an Israeli journalist was invited to "Meet the Press", would he speak Hebrew? No.

So, we're watching Bob and Ethan speaking English with the host, Menashe Raz and journalist Barbara Rom, asking questions in English and Raz is feebly and inadequately and poorly doing a translation.

This is quite embarrassing.
