You Do Want To Influence Israel's Media, Yes?

The prize will be awarded at the ceremony for The Abramowitz Israeli prize for media criticism. The public is invited to propose candidates for the prize as one of the prize winners will be elected by the public, as the "People's Choice" and the other one will be picked as in the past by the Prize Committee.

If anyone should have that award in my opinion it shoud be Ymedad. I am an American and I have never in my life seen anyone as gutsy as Ymedad. He is a watchman on the wall and a trumpet in the streets. He prints the wheat and discards the chaff. Do not attempt to get between him and the truth. You will be steamrolled.
