UN Recommends New “Pravda-Like” Organization to Disseminate News

The UN would like to see news organizations take a more ‘constructive’ approach to the news.

Really.

They would like to see less negativity and more practical solutions offered.
But then, will it still be news?

For what it’s worth, bad or good, news is news and the current bias in telling it, is already bad enough. But now the UN wants THEIR slant to be put upon the things you see and read…

“In a world of 7 billion people, with a cacophony of voices that are often ill-informed and based on narrow agendas, we need responsible media that educate, engage and empower people and serve as a counterpoint to power. We need them to offer constructive alternatives in the current stream of news and we need to see solutions that inspire us to action. Constructive journalism offers a way to do that.”

“It’s vital too that we have data and different points of view.”

The UN and the NCVO also claims that the public are turned off by overwhelmingly negative news, and are more likely to share stories that offer solutions to problems, providing a commercial incentive for media organisations to include more positive stories.

Welcome to the New World Order where the UN wants to be Winston.
