Fox News Under Attack By The UN
During the past two years we have seen an increase in the number of
allegations of serious wrongdoing by UN officials who've been involved
in a variety of scandals: Oil for Food; molesting and raping of
children by UN peacekeepers; embezzlement, fraud and corruption.
Through it all, only one major news source has continually investigated
the actions by UN officials and reported on what they've found: Fox
News Channel.
Now it's payback time by the UN and their allies.
Throughout the past couple of weeks the UN and their allies have
engaged in a full frontal assault on Fox News Channel. Their purpose
is to both bully Fox into silence, and generally become such a
nuisance that Fox shies away from aggressive reporting on the UN
scandals simply because the process of reporting and then responding
to attacks by UN officials and politicians is so thoroughly exhausting.
The attack on Fox News is orchestrated primarily by Kofi Annan's
communications director, Shashi Tharoor, and is then distributed to
the press corps and through the Internet with the help of David Brock's
Media Matters, and Peter Daou's UN Dispatch. Brock is a liberal
activist and Daou was the Online Rapid Response Director for the
Kerry/Edwards campaign.
Both Brock and Daou have put the spotlight of criticism on Fox News
Channel's reporting...

UN Dispatch (Peter Daou - formerly with Kerry/Edwards Campaign):

However, neither organization points out Fox News Channel's response.
Especially interesting is the fact that UN Officials refused to appear
in the special report, "Breaking Point," that Fox News Channel
conducted on the Oil for Food scam.
Below is a link to the response offered by Fox
News Channel since neither David Brock nor Peter Daou chose to do so:

What is it going to take to get the UN out of the US?
