I haven't put this sight forward as truth or claimed that there is no agenda behind it. But you can learn a lot even from biased sources. Their news clips come from many arab channels and they are not unusual...I watch a lot of Dubai TV, Al Jazeera, and broadcast from several other gulf states and egypt, and I don't think Memritv is showing the 'worst' at all. They do, however, show interviews where somone takes essentially a pro-west point of view.
People with no agenda would not have any reason to take selected interviews and translate them into english. So if you want access to translations you have to take what you can get.
I don't avoid liberal media outlets simply because they don't agree with my own point of view...To do so is to put on blinders to the possibility that you may be wrong.
Why do you care that the free republic links to memri? I cold give two shits if the democratic underground likes a particular souce.
