It's all about the Children...Sometimes.

A little old...but still noteworthy:

UN Sex Scandal

Accusations of sexual abuse by U.N. peacekeepers and aid workers around the world have increased in recent years and the United Nations is investigating claims against its soldiers in hotspots such as Haiti, Liberia, Ivory Coast and the Democratic Republic of Congo.


This comes on the heels of another sex scandal...

School Sex Scandal

5 Different Sexual Scandals have rocked the LA school district. And the UN has been indicted as well. Major news coverage on either? Nope.

Child sex scandals only matter with a right wing source...like the church. So, if priests are having sex with teenagers...it's big news. If teachers are having sex with teens...meh. If UN workers are having sex with single digit age children...who cares?

So if the source of the child molestation is a right winger...it's big news. If it's a leftist source...like the UN or union teachers, then it never makes TV news.

Children matter. But partisan politics matter more.
