U.S. News' "Washington Whispers":

At the U.N., 'beating a wave with a hammer'

Ted Turner 's $1 billion U.N. Foundation, formed to support the United Nations and fund do-gooder projects, is screaming "enough already" at conservative and media critics of the scandals at the world body. Fueled by the oil-for-food controversy, U.N. bashers have been pounding the New York City-based organization, and now Turner's group is helping the U.N. fight back. "The foundation," says spokeswoman Debra DeShong, "is getting the truth out." And it's doing that on the critics' turf: Internet blogs. "This is the newest and most influential media, and the right wing really does it well," she says. "It's like beating back a wave with a hammer."

But hammering away they are, with the blog www.undispatch.com, Internet ads, and now a campaign to get U.N. backers on radio and TV to debate the critics. "We're acting like a real campaign to talk up the United Nations," says DeShong. The bashers aren't backing off. "A pro-U.N. blog?" asks Jed Babbin, pundit and author of the anti-U.N. Inside the Asylum. "I'm surprised it isn't in French."

A pro-UN blog. That's pitiful. OTH, maybe they printed the posters for Baby Assad's demonstrators! [see above] LOL!
