Israel's Media Watch (IMW) monitors the Israeli media, hoping to ensure a 'Zionist, ethical and quality Israeli media'.

According to journalist Elisheva Goldberg, Tomy Lapid, the father of Yair Lapid, has accused IMW of 'distorting reality', 'falsifying', 'McCarthyism' and 'pseudo-scientific research'

Goldberg writes that in 2012 IMW petitioned the Supreme Court, hoping to shut down Israel's Channel 10 television station. She suggests the organisation 'has a paid staff of two or three and an unpaid staff of two young national servicewomen'.[1]
