I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The large increase from 2018-2021 was driven by #Climate activism.

Lesson: The widespread mobilisation of the climate emergency movement ( @fridaysforfuture.bsky.social @xrglobal.bsky.social, @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social @endegelaende.bsky.social ) was crucial for creating political salience
Look at storytelling in the news media about climate change over the last 25 years. Online vs print

For #MediaLiberationDay activists targeted billionaire media owners who pump out print with division and disinformation by disrupting the headlines of news stands.

Each #CoverStory warns people of the dangers of disinformation and division by billionaire media owners!

We need a #MediaRevolution which includes regulating ownership to stop billionaires from monopolising our media systems.

Hi @evanhd.bsky.social, climate models have proven accurate or conservative when it comes to the scale of extremes we are now witnessing. So please don’t imply otherwise in your questioning.

We all got that scary phone alert yesterday.

Wildfires. Floods. Extreme weather.

The UK govt knows the climate 💩 is about to hit the fan.

So do the billionaires — who are quietly building bunkers. 🧵

It’s not just about the death of journalists in Gaza. It’s about the death of journalism in the West. And each cowardly journalist drove a nail into that coffin.

I got a bit heated on today’s #EchoChamberPod, but I stand over every single word.

News avoidance, it feels like we're damned if we do & damned if we don't read it.

Plus, the billionaire media owners are masters of #menticide.
