Menashe is considered one of the most prominent journalists in Israel. Among military personalities she earned her nickname as "The mother of the [Israeli] soldiers", following exposures of many failures and scandals in the security community of the way they treated soldiers problems, and by broadcasting these matters on Kol Yisrael radio. On the other hand, she was also criticized on leading a trend, using her broadcasts, of an individual treatment of soldiers, arguing that this trend hardens the training and functioning of the IDF.
