Not fluently. I have to go to my references a lot.re: #139 researchok

CNN’s Arabic translators have mentioned it several times. Norman Finkelstein and Juan Cole regularly object. For integrity’s sake I’ll mention Al Jazeera but I acknowledge that Al Jazeera saying MEMRI mistranslates Al Jazeera forces a “he said/he said” position.

Use it. But recognize the bias and trust it as much as you trust Al Jazeera in English for the same underlying reason. Sometimes one is more accurate than the other, but neither is always better.

MEMRI translates tens of thousands of broadcasts/documents a month.

That CNN translators have ‘mentioned it several times’ is of little import.

That Juan Cole and Norman ‘Holocaust Truther’ Finklestein regularly object is probably the best endorsement MEMRI could hope for.
