Benjamin Netanyahu is being tried for bribery and breach of trust. His co-defendants are two media moguls – Yediot Aharonot owner and publisher Arnon Moses, and former owner and publisher of Walla News website (and Bezeq telecommunications company) Shaul Alovich. The “crimes” they are accused of all relate to their desire to give voice – or consider giving voice – to positions and information ignored and silenced by the establishment media.
