The U.N. is saying that the American people haven’t been indoctrinated enough, and that the media have to provide even more one-sided coverage
The U.S. is the largest contributor to this U.N. agency, providing more than $100 million annually.
This U.N. report has one of the most devious rationales for censorship that you will ever see. In a section of the report about “The Role of the Media,” the U.N. informs us that “The media have a critical role to play in informing and changing public opinion.” It goes on to lament that “one study” in the U.S. on coverage of climate change “found that the balance norm resulted in over half of articles in the country’s most prestigious newspapers between 1990 and 2002 giving equal weight to the findings of the IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] and of the climate science community, and the views of the climate skeptics—many of them funded by vested interest groups. Continued confusion in public opinion is one consequence.”
