Mark Levin vs Raoul Wootliff and the Times of Israel

Times of Israel writer, Raoul Wootliff, in his recent article, Netanyahu to US Radio: Israelis support me despite corruption allegations, attacked radio host Mark Levin by virtue of a demeaning and derogatory dismissal, labeling him a controversial conservative “shock jock.” This attempt to discredit Levin was taken by the radio host to be an indirect effort to preemptively trash and smear him before his upcoming one hour interview with Benjamin Netanyahu, which is scheduled to air on Sunday evening on Fox TV.

In response to the characterization of Levin, the talk show host called Wootliff “a left wing fraud,” adding his disdain for the Times of Israel by stating, “if I had a bird, I wouldn’t even use you as the paper at the bottom of the bird cage. I wouldn’t want to poison my bird!”
