disagree  GihanSS: لو ترجمنا حرفيا تكون لا " تغسل" غسيلك القذر و ليس لا " تنشر " لأن( الغسيل) ان وصل لمرحلة النشر فهو ليس قذرا بل مغسولا . . أرى ان ترجمةا" ان بليتم فاستتروا هي الصحيحة" و ان لم تكن حرفية و شكرا

disagree  Mohamed Kamel: ترجمة حرفية وخاطئة أيضًا للأسف يا إيناس!

agree  Sam21: هذا المصطلح شائع الاستخدام إعلاميا في الوقت الحالي، " نشر الغسيل القذر" ولا أجد مانعا من استخدامه في سياقات معينة
