Abstract:

The U.S. General Accounting Office has confirmed that the United Nations' main public information organ is biased against the U.S. A recently completed GAO content analysis of materials produced by the United Nations Department of Public Information (DPI) finds that these materials frequently oppose key U.S. interests, discuss U.S. policies in a biased manner, and distort or ignore U.S. positions at the United Nations.
