UN GATE, Sept 14
– Six days before the UN's
hyped and often decadent
General Assembly week,
Secretary General Antonio
Guterres on September 14 held
a briefing with friendly
journalists only, delivering a
lengthy answer in Portuguese
with no translation.
This came
after a year of UN failure on
Ukraine, Haiti, and corruption
in the DR Congo exposed by
Inner City Press.
Guterres and his
head of media access Melissa
Fleming have kept Inner City
Press banned, most recently
not even responding to its
application last week to enter
and cover the UNGA week.
While
Guterres sufficiently serviced
the Permanent Five members of
the UN Security Council to
grab a second term, now he is
spreading his censorship to
and through them.
On
September 15 US Ambassador
Linda Thomas-Greenfield will
limit questions about USUN's
work, weak on China, to
correspondents accredited -
and not banned - by Guterres'
UN. Watch this site.
