UN Dispatch Under-Reports Oil for Food Scandal

Only 3 of 45 April entries on the UN 'Dispatch' blog mention the scandal (7%). Yet according to a google news search, of the 21,400 news articles in April mentioning the UN, 2,550 refer to the Oil-for-Food scandal. That's about 12%, suggesting that by world news standards, the UN Dispatch is under-reporting the affair. Amusingly, the UN Dispatch actually criticises RogerLSimon's blog for discussing the oil for food affair in 20% of his April entries. Seems to me that Roger Simon is no more 'unbalanced' than the UN Dispatch itself!
