What's odd is that the reports said the US delegation walked out, when I think there were 20+ countries that got up and left.
|
I was shocked that none of the news I watch, local, NBC/CNN stated that even though I read about several other countries walking in protest yesterday on a UK news and US blogs. I chuckled when MSNBC had "related articles" they focused on others that have denounced the US like that before like Castro, and Mumar. Maybe news isn't biased, just incredibly lazy. |

I'm not sure how you could say it's conservative media bias, unless you're accusing them of taking an American centric view of the world as some often accuse.
I'd think a liberal media would want to highlight the moment as a sign of Obama's unity with the world and EU socialist values.
Regardless, it seems like a good opportunity for Obama to push Russia and China to back stronger action. Obama has been making some progress here, but has yet to show substantial results.

We are going to have to deal with him militarily eventually. just like N. Korea and China with Taiwan.
We are the world's peacekeeper.
