Middle East Media Research Institute
The Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI for short, is a Middle East press monitoring organization located in Washington DC, with branch offices in Jerusalem, Berlin, London, and Tokyo. It provides translations of Arabic and Farsi media as well as original analyses of political, ideological, intellectual, social, cultural, and religious trends in the Middle East.
MEMRI was founded in 1998 by its president Yigal Carmon, a retired colonel from Israeli military intelligence, and the academic Dr. Meyrav Wurmser. The organisation became more prominent after the September 11, 2001 attacks, due to increased Western public interest in Arab and Iranian affairs. At that time, it expanded its staff considerably, setting up new branches abroad in early 2002.
MEMRI is one of the few free sources of English language translations of material published in Arabic and Persian. MEMRI publishes their translations, analyses, and in-depth reports on their Web site. MEMRI is regularly quoted by major international newspapers. The organization has garnered praise and criticism for their work.

Criticism
Vincent Cannistraro, a former counterintelligence official with the CIA, said that MEMRI "are selective and act as propagandists for their political point of view, which is the extreme-right of Likud [...]. They simply don't present the whole picture." [7] Cannistraro claims he was asked to join MEMRI, but he refused "because I saw this was capped by Israeli intelligence and because it was too political."[7]

The truth should be presented on unbiased terms. You can call me a Jew hater and a terrorist all you want (far from either), but this point speaks for itself. Half truths/biased agendas from
any side only make political waters murkier.
