Reuters is going after a small media reporter who criticized the UN's use of a war crime suspect on a human rights panel.

(UNITED NATIONS) - Ten minutes after Inner City Press exposed Reuters' involvement in hosting the UN Correspondent Association minutes used to indict it, the link was changed away from Reuters.

But the screen-shot remains, even as Reuters brass continues to be unreachable as the company leads a purge of independent media at the UN.

Still there has been not response to the May 27 and June 2 notifications to Greg McCune of Reuters "Ethics & Training," Top News Editor Walden Siew, deputy editor Paul Ingrassia and big Reuters cheese Stephen J. Adler, on Twitter with a total of four tweets, none since August 2011. So much for New Media. Meanwhile Reuters' Charbonneau slavishing re-tweets other Reuters' reporters stories. Some hope he's paid overtime, and not ONLY for his strenuous efforts to expel the free Press.

Now the the minutes taken out from behind Reuters' firewall, here are quick excerpts to show what is going on, even in these inaccurate summaries of three of four meetings (the fourth was withheld, to somehow serve the French mission to the UN, we'll have more on this)
