I don't know if anybody caught Fox News' "special report" on the UN Oil-for-food scandal....? If you did, you simply missed one of the most shameful examples of hack-job, pseudo-journalism that I've ever seen.
Rather than getting into it myself, you might want to read the critique put out by
Media Matters for America. Granted, they are clearly a partisan group, but they tend to do a very good job of backing up their arguments with references and documents.
To sum it up, Fox News pretty much blames Kofi Annan for allowing the killings in Rwanda, for allowing Iraq to build up their stockpiles of WMDs, for starving the people of Iraq, and for aiding in Saddam's plot to flood the American perfume market with biological poisons.
No joke. Check it out.
EDIT: Better yet, call Fox News at 1-888-369-4762, and tell them to stop attempting this journalism stuff.
