When I read that Robert Pollock alarmist piece in the Opinion Journal warning of a dangerous, wholly irrational anti-Americanism rising in Turkey, fueled by the "Nazi-like" Turkish media, my first response was: gosh! This article sounds just like the ones I read about the Arab media which rely on MEMRI!
Then some Turks of my acquaintance complained that Pollock totally misrepresented the Turkish media by presenting quotes taken from marginal publications as representative. And again I was thinking, that is just so MEMRI!
But, of course, MEMRI doesn't work on the Turkish media.
Or so I thought!
Then I learned that MEMRI just started its own service from Turkey, including this recent report on "anti- Americanism in the Turkish media."
What an amazing coincidence!
What a startling coincidence! I'm sure there is no correlation between hacks reporting on issues they don't understand and the reports generation by
propagandaorganisations like MEMRI!Posted by: ihateemo | February 28, 2005 at 09:19 AM
