Netanyahu: Israel’s press the most critical in the world

Unprompted, Netanyahu is taking on the Israeli media. Sarcastically, he says, all the news channels are bursting with praise for him.

On a more serious note, he goes on to make the dubious assertion that “there is no country [whose press] attacks its leader more than the Israeli press attacks me.”

He says that “that’s fine,” but that he too has “the right to criticize the press.

“Which I just did,” Netanyahu adds, to scattered titters.
