UNITED
NATIONS, March
30 -- In the
past week, an
Emergency
Medical
Technician in
New York City
Timothy Dluhos
was exposed
for racist
tweets. In
response,
using
anonymous
Twitter
accounts, his
supporters
have “trolled”
the New York
Post reporter
who wrote the
story.
By
week's end,
the New
York Police
Department
issued
guidelines
about
its
personnel's
use of social
media,
whether in
their own name
or
anonymously.
But
in another
corner of
Manhattan not
subject to any
laws or rules,
the
UN raid
Inner City
Press' office
on March 18.
It allowed the
president
of the UN
Correspondents
Association,
Pamela Falk of
CBS,
to take
photographs.
Neither she
nor the UN has
explained why.
On
March 22
photographs of
Inner City
Press' office
and bookshelf
appeared
on BuzzFeed,
sent in by an
anonymous
e-mail account
“Concerned UN
Reporter.”
This same
commented
anonymously on
the
resulting
story, as did
what are
obviously
other UNCA
“leaders.”
The
UN
has refused to
disclose who
its Department
of Public
Information
let into
Inner City
Press' office
on March 18
without its
knowledge
or consent.
Pamela
Falk from
her
CBSNews.com
e-mail address
has
issued a legal
threat to
Inner City
Press to not
even ask why
she
took
photographs,
or UNCA's and
her role in
passing raid
photographs
to BuzzFeed.
This
followed Falk
screaming at
Inner City
Press in front
of DPI on
February 22,
saying that to
even contact
UNCA leaders'
big media
employers to
ask about
their policies
“might
constitute a
crime.”
Really? What
crime?
The
UNCA leaders
are now using
at least six anonymous
social
media
accounts
to try to
undermine
Inner City
Press and the
Free UN
Coalition for
Access. This
trolling is
not acted on
by UNCA
president
Pamela Falk --
hereinafter,
Queen of the
Trolls.
The
big media
employers of
the trollers
apparently
have no rules,
or
don't enforce
them. This is
what happens
in a lawless
corner of New
York -- for
now. And it's
getting worse.

Footnote:
Over
on BuzzFeed,
the UNCA
“leaders”
continue anonymous
posts
(compared
yesterday
to statements
from Louis
Charbonneau of
Reuters,
Denis
Fitzgerald of
Saudi Press
Agency and
Bloomberg's UN
reporter.
The
Brazilian
co-founder of
the Free UN
Coalition for
Access Luiz
Rampelotto, on
the record as
his media
Europa
Newswire and
with his
photograph,
continued his
manifesto:
“even UNCA
have more
creditability
then you if
you keep using
a fake name to
discredit
someone! Put
up or buzz
off! I know! I
know! The
minute you put
your
real name, you
will be
representing
your 'Big
Media' company
and they
will fire
you.” Watch
