AFP's
Witcher, Who
Complains to
UN of Being
Called a
Lapdog, Swore

UNITED
NATIONS, March
12 -- Agence
France Presse
scribe Tim
Witcher, who
has
now filed a
frivolous UN
Security
complaint
against Inner
City Press
for calling
him a lapdog
-- not even a
curse word --
has in the
past
told Inner
City Press
“you just
write any old
bullsh*t.” Audio
here, at
Minute 0:35.
If
Witcher
thought it was
fine to swear
at Inner City
Press, what is
the
basis of his
UN Security
complaint, no
copy of which
has yet been
provided
despite Inner
City Press'
request?
So
what does the
UN do with a
not only
frivolous, but
clearly
pre-textual
complaint? As
shown, Witcher
despite having
STARTED a UN
Correspondents
Association
proceeding to
censure Inner
City Press,
insisted that
he had not
been the
drafter,
because if it
had been up
to him, “you
would have
been kicked
out.” Audio
of that, here.
Witcher
wanted
Inner City
Press kicked
out, and now
attempts to
conflate a
verbal
disagreement
which he began
by hissing
“lies and
distortion”
which drew the
reply “lapdog”
into a UN
Security
incident.
But
it is an
incident that
has nothing to
do with
security. It
is an
attempt at
censorship,
for reporting
that as the
audio
reflects,
Witcher does
not like.

UN Multimedia
Is
writing
critically
about Agence
France Presse
and its UN
bureau's
demonstrable
closeness with
the French
Mission and
with Herve
Ladsous, the
fourth
Frenchman in a
row to head UN
Peacekeeping,
a UN
Security
incident?
What
are the rules?
Should UN
Security
accept and
process, and
keep
confidential,
frivolous
complaints of
one media
against
another,
about entirely
free speech
and freedom of
the press
issues?
Where
is Ban
Ki-moon's
Department of
Public
Information in
all this? The
same DPI which
invited Inner
City Press to
a session on
February 22
at which UNCA
President
Pamela Falk
was allowed to
scream at
Inner
City Press
“mugger” and
“you call
yourself a
journalist”?
DPI
said nothing
about that.
But now UNCA
“leader”
Witcher has
filed
a UN Security
complaint
about being
called a
lapdog, after
he threw
the first
verbal insult,
hissing “lies
and
distortion”?
After,
as shown on
this tape, he
told Inner
City Press
“you just
write any
old bullsh*t”?
That's just
what this is.
