The headline on a Sept. 23 CNSNews.com article by Patrick Goodenough on a conference that “raised the issue of ending monetary contributions to the U.N. as long as its actions continue to ‘delegitimize’ Israel” reads, “Stellar Cast of Critics Slam U.N. As Anti-American, Anti-Israel.”
And who is the first person in this “stellar cast” that Goodenough deemed worthy of quoting? Jon Voight. No, really. Indeed, Goodenough didn’t explain why any of the critics should be described as “stellar.”
Goodenough noted that Voight is an “Academy Award-winning actor,” but he didn’t describe how that qualified Voight to be a “stellar” critic of the United Nations.
Of course, had Voight not been spouting conservative talking points, CNS and its parent organization, the Media Research Center, would be attacking him for speaking out.
