The print media would have also featured extensive coverage. Not so when the dead and injured are the victims of road accidents. There is no comparison between media coverage of fatal road accidents and deadly terrorist attacks. This is because the managers of all television and radio stations have decided that the blood of someone killed in a road accident is less red than that of someone killed in a terrorist attack. The editors call for the police to greatly step up actions against road offenders. Yediot Ahronot discusses the ongoing scandal involving former Shinui National Infrastructures Minister Joseph Paritzky, the Israel Electric Corporation and various private investigators and businessmen.
