Here’s some evidence that most professional reporters are just phoning it in.
In a column that appeared on a Canadian news website this morning, the writer, Linda Williamson, penned the following prosaic images of the United Nations at work. Or not at work, as it were:
Indeed, apart from the convoy of television news trucks outside this dazzling, Le Corbusier-designed world headquarters on the Hudson, there are few signs this is an institution on the brink of crisis and collapse.
Signs that it’s an institution on the brink of irrelevance, however, are everywhere.
But then, the UN has always been other-worldly by design.
I’m now curious as to whether Ms. Willimason herself has been to some “other worldly” place, since the Le Corbusier-designed world headquarters of the United Nations has been sitting on the shores of New York’s East River since 1952.
