“…Since the inception of the Qatari channel, it has been accused of being the official media platform for extremist organizations (Karlekar and Marchant, 2007). It has also been involved in promoting radical ideology (Lahlali, 2011), as the Qatari screen was keen to broadcast videos of ISIS terrorist acts and its operations in Iraq, Syria, Egypt, and several Arab countries. There is no doubt, therefore, that the interpreter negotiates his network's perspective by rejecting the term "Da"esh" and replacing it with what his network"s view as natural even if it subverts the speaker"s intended perception.…”

Translation and interpreting studies in the new millennium started to benefit from the advancements in sociology to account for the translators’ and interpreters’ subjective agency. As human actions and reactions are not always predictable, the agency can play a decisive role in the degree to which translators and interpreters intervene in the tasks they are assigned to accomplish. Different economic, social, political, and ethnic factors may lead them to consciously or sub-consciously involve to prioritize certain interests. The present study assumes that they can actively participate in ideologically subverting the ‘other’ group or community. They can make use of any textual tools at their disposal to feed their institutionalized knowledge and beliefs or ideologies into the texts or utterances they are rendering. They may not hesitate to delete, add, or replace the messages that struggle with them or their group or community’s ideological stands. Actor-network theory is the conceptual framework on which this study is based to disclose and justify possible occasions of subversion. The data are taken from Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya live simultaneous interpreting of three political speeches: Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi’s English speech at the 2017 Munich Security Conference and American President Barack Obama’s two speeches entitled ‘A New Beginning’ (delivered June 4, 2009, in Cairo) and ‘A Moment of Opportunity’ (delivered May 19, 2011, in the Department of State). The findings prove that ideological subversion in the interpreting process is inescapable.

“…One aspect that is worth mentioning is the negotiation of his network"s sectarian solidarity. Al-Arabiya is a Saudi-funded satellite channel (Lahlali, 2011). The cold war between Saudi Arabia and Iran extended to other countries in the region such as Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Bahrain.…”

“…In addition, the regime used traditional measures to fight channels whose agenda was not to its liking, such as shutting down secular and Islamist opposition satellite channels through NileSat and exerting diplomatic pressure on their funding countries (Galal, 2015, pp. 70-71;Lahlali, 2011). Similarly, Abdalla F. Hassan (2015, p. 19) has noted that "while private Egyptian satellite channels have played a significant role in connecting with the man on the street, the government and its security agencies have had ways of pressuring producers and presenters, or more pointedly, the channel's owners, who are businessmen with interlocking interests with the government.…”

This article offers a new perspective on the extensive discussion of the role of new media in facilitating the 2011 Egyptian uprising by placing it within the historical context of how the state responded to new media in the previous decades. This article uses an archaeological analysis of state media to reveal how the state coped with the news media (newspapers, radio, television, satellite television) in the past to infer the present relationship between the state and the new media (the internet and social media). We discerned a recurring cyclical pattern characterized by a dynamic of openness–adaptation–narrowing, which sheds light on the media’s ability to challenge state authority and on the state’s ability to contain and limit new media. We suggest that the role of the internet and social media in the Egyptian “Arab Spring” should be viewed as being on this continuum, as an extension of processes of state–media relations that had developed in the preceding decades.
