More Blatant Lies From The Media...This Time It's Really Bad!

I wonder how many of the people posting Youtube videos to deface Ahmedinejad actually understand Farsi? You call yourself researchers and think you know the truth, but you´re taking a video from a publicly accessible website at face-value. Maybe you should first investigate the source for the translations a little.

From the Memri TV website´s "About" page:

The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) was founded in 1998 in Washington, DC to bridge the language gap between the Middle East and the West by monitoring, translating, and studying Arab, Iranian and Turkish media, schoolbooks, and religious sermons. MEMRI is headquartered in Washington, D.C. and has branches in Baghdad, Tokyo and Jerusalem, and a staff of over 70 working around the globe. MEMRI's research is translated into English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish with a subscriber list of over 75,000. MEMRI is a 501 (c)3 organization and is incorporated in Washington, D.C.

So your translations are provided by a Washington, D.C. based firm with subsidiaries in, among others, Jerusalem. How´s that for your objective view?

FYI, a 501 (c)3 organization is commonly known as a charitable organization, or non-profit organization. They are tax-exempt under a few conditions (see IRS requirements), of which one is that they are restricted in their political lobbying. Who decides how these restrictions are met?
