UNSCam Speculation
I think it's quite telling that the UN oil-for-food scandal, which involved billions of dollars in under-the-table payments from Iraq to UN representatives who then vocally opposed the invasion of Iraq, has not gotten massive and unrelenting coverate in the US media.
What will it take for UNScam to break as big in the US media as, say, the Enron scandal or the Martha Stewart case? My guess: any whiff of a link to the current US administration. Until then, for reasons easy to speculate but actually known only to themselves, it's a non-starter at ABC, NBC, CBS, Knight-Ridder, Tribune Media, Cox, the NY Times, etc.
