Who also thinks that it is time for the United Nations meetings to be televised.?

Question

In the age of information and enlightenment , is it not time for United Nations meetings to be televised/Radio broardcast so citizens can actually get a view on how and why and when our world leaders are working together for the betterment of everyone.

Answer 1

You could, but it would be just like watching CSPAN.  Not many people would care to see it.

Answer 2

why? most important decisions are made without the peoples say so anyway. I think is about time we demand our democratic rights or protest when it is violated. As a good poet once said 'THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED!'

Answer 3

Dull, yes, but citizens should still be allowed to watch it.

Answer 4

Meetings of the United Nations must be accessible to the people so that they will be able to know what are their plans for the world.

Answer 5

Uh...  have you ever actually watched C-SPAN (assuming you're in the US, of course).  It's dull, dull, dull.  It's got less action than a glacier in full charge.  It makes watching paint dry seem like a Jackie Chan movie.

Besides, putting cameras in front of these people would turn them into hams who mug for the spotlight.  Most of the time, the debates are staged for the cameras and press.  The real deals are done in the back offices.

Answer 6

yeha, definately to broaden the scope of politics would be very helpful. i think it is especially important as at the end of the daythey are their to represent us and we should acknowledge what is being said and in what context, insted of reling purely on the bias media.

Answer 7

Trust me, the U.N. doesn't want to be held publicly accountable...for doing NOTHING!

Answer 8

I think they should, I enjoyed watching the Muppets :-)
