UNITED
NATIONS,
August 19 --
With Reuters
UN bureau
having been
shown with
documents
to be spoon-fed
spies
for the UN,
and with UN
Correspondents
Association
president Pamela Falk
of CBS News
being
sycophant for
the UN, her
UNCA trolls
started up again
on Monday with
personal
anti-Press
social media
posts.
Meanwhile in
the briefing
room Monday
for UN
Secretary
General Ban
Ki-moon's
four-question
press
"encounter,"
the UN gave
UNCA Executive
Committee
members the
first two
question, the
first
of which
was widely
ridiculed
afterward.
This is the
UN's Alliance
for so many
things.
Monday
at the UN
Security
Council
stakeout
virtually none
of the UNCA
Executive
Committee
members came,
as in
the Security
Council the
killings in
Egypt and
detention
of journalist
Glenn
Greenwald's
partner by the
UK were
debated. (Click
here for
Inner City
Press' story.)
Lou
Charbonneau of
Reuters, now a
mere
pass-through
for the UK
mission, has
been shown
to spy for the
UN, handing
them internal
anti-Press
UNCA
documents
three
minutes after
saying he
wouldn't.
Story
here, audio here,
document
here.
Because
of
the anonymous
trolling, we
note this, on
the record:
while
Charbonneau's
feed of
corporate
robot-tweets
was dropped on
August 13 from
the Foreign
Policy
magazine
"Twitterati
100," he
maintains the
claim on his
twitter
profile.
Word to
Reuters,
including
heretofore
stonewalling
Stephen J.
Adler, Greg
McCune, Paul
Ingrassia and
Walden Siew,
isn't that
false
advertising?
And what of
the
Reuter-ites'
trolling? And
spying
for the UN?
How is this
acceptable?
The UN
Department of
Public
Information,
which said
months ago it
would curb
this personal
trolling by
its exclusive
(censorship)
partner has
apparently
done nothing.
Instead, on
June 20 DPI
told Inner
City Press it
reserves the
right to
suspend or
withdraw its
accreditation
for hanging a
sign of the
alternative Free UN Coalition for Access on the door of its shared
office.
Meanwhile UNCA has
five signs,
and has had
what was
supposed to be
a UN
journalists
club locked up
and dark for
weeks.
Inner
City Press for
FUNCA asked
about that
locked
clubhouse,
when UNCA used
it for some in
the Syrian
opposition,
publicizing it
only to those
which pay it
money. The UN
never
explained if
the events
there are UN
events, or why
it remains
locked. Nor
when while
threatening
journalists it
gave a
non-journalist
UNCA intern a
"P" Press pass
and let him
into the
briefing room
and stakeout.
Watch
this site.
Footnote:
we
have
previously
named him as
the recipient
of
Charbonneau's
"leak" on an
internal UNCA
anti-Press
document, but
tonight in
fairness note
that the UN's
Stephane
Dujarric did
after week
answer a
question from
the Free UN
Coalition for
Access (Inner
City Press
re-tweeted the
answer, about
Al Jazeera,
here). We'll
have more on
this.
