Bunch of trolls.

These are mostly the same countries that wanted to establish a New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO) in the late 1970's. They argued that 'Western media through control of major international information channels gave an exploitative and distorted view of their countries to the rest of the world'. Yeah right, as if their own state-controlled media didn't do exactly the same thing.

The movement folded after the fall of the Soviet Union, but not before it gave us such gems of modern press agencies as PANA (Africa), CANA (Caribbean) and the Non-Aligned News Agencies Pool which is run by the Ministers of Information of the countries concerned (IMHO all press agencies run by Ministers of Information should be burned to the ground).

Now they want to lay their hands on the Internet. And they are going to fail a second time. And they are going to be laughed at for years.
