I assume you refer to this quote?

So the only complaint about Memri is that it publishes translations from official arab and iranian government television and newspapers, official publications of hamas and hezbollah, and speeches by major islamic religious leaders without also publishing material which might be published in israeli sources.

If so, you are mistaken that that would be the only complaint about MEMRI. Not only seems MEMRI to fail to bring the Israeli media outltes, but it clearly only picks the news items from the ME press fauna when it fits their agenda. As an illustration, I provided the link to their unbiased overview of the Iranian media.
Finally, there are also several complaints about the accuracy of their translations.
