Will Mideast coverage on South African Broadcasting Corporation newscasts be more balanced?
That’s the hope after officials from the South African Board of Jewish Deputies cut a deal with SABC news director Dr. Snuki Zikalala. It’s Almost Supernatural explains:

The blacklist earned Dr. Zikalala HonestReporting’s Worst News Executive Award.
