Ever wonder why MSM rarely report on the UN oil for food program? Well maybe it's because some reporters, like Linda Fasulo, the U.N. correspondent for NBC News and MSNBC, get paid to ignore the bad and write the good.
UPDATE
EU Referendum has a great round up of the UK Sunday papers coverage of the UN oil for food scandal. It's taken over two years for legacy media to report on the biggest financial scandal in history.
EU ends with some comments from Mark Steyn's article I posted about earlier.
The Americans and Australians had troops and relief supplies on the ground within hours and were coordinating their efforts without any global bureaucracy at all. Imagine that: an unprecedented disaster, and yet robust, efficient, compatible, results-oriented nations managed to accomplish more than the international system specifically set up to manage such events. Would it have helped to elect a steering committee with Sudan and Zimbabwe on it? Of course not."
John Kerry wanted to get a permission slip from the UN before taking action. Thank God we doged that bullet.
