Book excerpt: "The aim of this book is to examine the way the ideological stamp manipulates the translation of political discourse in news media and how it affects accuracy in the translation process. In the ideal world, news media, mainly news reports, are expected to present information objectively in order to allow readers to make up their own minds. However, this book argues that translation, particularly in the context of media discourse about Arab-Muslim political affairs with the western world, is not a mere linguistic tool of ideological manipulation. The analysis reveals the critical role of ideology in manipulating the production of news reports. The analysis also indicated that the inaccuracy and mistranslation of the extracted political samples of news reports are motivated by a wider perspective of political, ideological editorial stance. Consequently, intentional and inaccurate news media translation of such nature must be distinguished from the mistranslation caused by the incompetence of the translator."--Back cover.
