Manar`s Hebrew department phobia!
Source: Al-Manar TV, 20-3-2007
"Israeli" media is not interested in the Hebrew department at the Al-Manar TV channel just because it represents a successful experiment in reporting the "Israeli" internal scene to the Arab receiver, but because of the indirect impact the department makes on the "Israeli" media on the one hand and the receiver on the other.
Even "Israeli" reporters always take into consideration the monitoring of their counterparts at Al-Manar, especially when reporting news pertaining to the Arab world. One "Israeli" reporter said during a coverage that the Hebrew department at Al-Manar is now receiving his words to re-broadcast it through "Hizbullah`s airwaves" in a manner that serves its trend. This has led to a sort of self control by "Israeli" reporters in their approach to some hot Lebanese issues, which they ignored in some cases, because of the embarrassment they might cause to the some Lebanese groups regarded by "Israel" as indirect allies. "Israeli" daily Maariv commented on the (Rabi`a - The Fourth Estate) program broadcasted on Al-Manar giving special heed to reports and analyses in "Israeli" journals. Maariv said that this program is alarming because it enters every house in and outside Lebanon and exposes the real face of "Israel".
