LA Times speaks up for the United Nations

The United Nations gets a lot of criticism within the United States, especially from right-wing journalists. So last week's speech by Mark Malloch Brown, the UN's deputy secretary-general, in which he castigated Rush Limbaugh and Fox News for their persistent attacks, earned him a ritual savaging from the very people he attacked. But the Los Angeles Times has weighed in with a very supportive editorial. Malloch Brown may have been undiplomatic, said the paper, but he was right. (Via latimes.com)
