Politics, Marshall McLuhan once predicted, will eventually be replaced by imagery. "The politician will be only too happy to abdicate in favor of his image, because the image will be much more powerful than he could ever be," he said.

From the headline "The sex scandal that has not happened", I thought the article would be about the latest sex scandal among rigorously Orthodox Haredi Jews. Except that the police investigated that one and found that nothing happened. There was no crime, no incident, nothing at all. Of course that didn't stop Galei Tzahal from reporting on it for days on end as if they had a real story. False accusations of sexual impropriety are becoming quite common, much too common. Do the anti-religious and anti-Right crowd have no standards at all?
thank you
