UN Doesn't Heart Free Expression

Big surprise ... not!

Just another day at the U.N., as in line with its general and agency-by-agency buckling under to the demands of its allied blocs of thug states, UNESCO pulled its sponsorship of Reporters Without Borders’ Online Free Expression Day.

The bloggers, reporters and others in the media claim they are for free speech and will not allow another opinion. what probably happened is someone from UNESCO, the UN or somewhere else tried to comment or sent a letter explaining what is happening from a perspective that is not the reporters, bloggers or media's. this was not published, addressed allowed to comment or commented and deleted or just 'moderated' away. This is common with many of these medias. The Peace Corps Message board - deleted, NPCA paid by PC advocate and lobby, Polyglot, Global Voices Advocate and bias medias do not allow other opinions. UNESCO, or any government agency, should never finance or sponsor these medias because they are, in fact, practising what they say they are against. The only motivation would be money or work.

"The bloggers, reporters and others in the media claim they are for free speech and will not allow another opinion."

This makes no sense at all to me. Can you provide any clarification or evidence of this?

[Fred Beloit]

The blogs, most of them it seems, do allow for comments, some of which are impolite disagreements with the bloggers. Newspapers print letters to the editors, some of which disagree with reporters and editors. Ergo, you must be talking about Iran, Russia, China, or various other undemocratic country members of the UN where disagreement is, shall we say, frowned upon.

I have emails from various orgs. I don't see the point in publishing them because the evidence is right there on the blogs.

As far as denial, that seems to be everyone's problem, but I just think the Lama is going for the Olympics, endorsing violence, offering himself as the answer to deal with and looting is not just non monks.

These blogs should not be sponsored and should have nothing to do with other countries internal problems because they are practicing the problem they claim they want stopped. The real motivation seems to be money and work and this is how that is done.

Ah, Dufus, now I see more clearly. The pacifist Lama is endorsing violence against the monks who are looting the Olympics and the blogs must be stopped at all costs in other countries where they are offering claims for motivation and money that have nothing to do with emails from various organizations and their problems. Thank you for your help in this matter. I suppose then that you feel the UN should boycott the Olympics?
