"Disclosed?" By whom? Moon? Who claims it is "virtually" controlled. When you've been here longer you will realize Moon is a one subject troll.
The article makes no such claim. The closest the article will come to such an accuswation is to point out some of the staff once worked for israeli intelligence. Big mystery there, right? That an israeli capable of translating arab and pharsee would have been assigned to military intelligence while doing his national service?
The fact is that Memri produces accurate translations of official arab government newspapers and official arab government tv shows. These articles are not from fringe group nutcase newspapers and television. The fact is the arab governments do not dispute the contents of the memri translations. The fact is that if israeli media contained anything even remotely like these tv shows we've been discussing, moon and frank and bart would be posting them here every day. So far I've seen nothing. Have you?
The article was published in the western world's most strident "mainstream" anti israel newspaper. Moon quotes from the guardian on a daily basis because they always provide quotes he can use in his campaign. And the article says the translations are accurate. If Israel's most vocal western opponent says the translations are accurate how can it simultaeneously be "compromised"? That just makes no sense to me.
