The media loves to go after "whistleblowers" when it comes to our FBI and Worldcoms, and Enrons of the world. However when it comes to whistleblowers that want to take on the UN the media turns a blind eye more less. Mark A. Adomanis of the Havard Crimson tells you why the media does so. This paper is a dally "college" newspaper and I plan on highlighting Adomanis time and again in the future.

Oh, I got red lights on the run
But soon there’ll be a freeway
Get my feet on holy ground
