Why were the media outlets covering up the name? Answer:'twas two-fold His "special mishpacha" rather have the atmosphere against them lessened through having the bad feelings smeared all around ( including possibly even immediate calls for the MK to step down)
The media outlets for their part, would 'graciously' not publish because they fully sense that by not naming a name and family by not saying the name will make all of them look bad collectively .Once more, hiding his name made all religious or at least "shechorim" Jews ( or those who aren't and who have been UTJ supporters on some occasion) look bad.
Be that as it may have been, By process of elimination it was obvious already which MK it was Since no way it would have been Gafni or Maklev. and very unlikely was Eichler or even Porush That left … And the media would've implied it had it been a [deputy] minister That left..
This whole thing is really sad. It seems like the only one who really cares about him is the estranged aunt almost no one else in the family wants to talk to. Granted, her defenses range from unbelievable ("he's being set up") to silly ("he's not that smart") to depressing ("his grandfather never sees him"), but that's her right at least.
I hope everyone got the irony of that clip of his Knesset speech.
