CNN, Wall Street Journal Street Fight Over Rouhani Translation - Yahoo Voices - voices.yahoo.com

CNN and the Wall Street Journal are currently engaged in the news media equivalent of a street fight over a translation of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's indirect reference to Nazi extermination of Jews during a visit to New York and the United Nations. The latest salvo in the journalistic battle is a Wall Street Journal editorial today: CNN'sTehran Translation. This follows Christiane Amanpour's defense of her translation on Anderson Cooper 360 wherein she describes other interpretations as "piffle."
