Yachimovich calls for Channel 10 News boss’s ouster

MK Shelly Yachimovich (Zionist Union) also urges Prime Minister Netanyahu to fire Rami Sadan, the newly appointed Channel 10 News chief, over his reported comments disparaging Shas.

“This was an unfortunate, bizarre and unprofessional appointment to begin with, involving a wheeler-dealer confidant of Netanyahu,” she says in a statement, “but his racist, contemptuous comments… against Mizrahim are an extremely severe infraction that renders him unsuited to fulfill this sensitive position.”
