So the beef with MEMRI is that it only translates the interesting/controversial segments of Arabic tv? Even your video accepts that MEMRI does post clips from the enlightened/ moderate voices in the Arab world. The problem with MEMRI is not with the accuracy of its subtitles or anything, just that it broadcasts the shame of the Arabs to the rest of the world.
Not true. It has been shown to produce inaccurate translations and to also take things out of context (check previous Guardian article), not to mention the people behind this are neoconservative and pro-zionist-Likud- supporting characters. As the guests said, it is a propaganda machine.
You probably don't have an issue with that, but to a lot of people unnecessarily inflaming (the already lame) relationship between the ''the West'' and ''the Muslim World'' is a bad thing.
