CNN, CBS News, NBC News, and ABC News have run more Queen Elizabeth II stories in the past 2 weeks than climate change stories in the past 2 years.

1. “A survey of CNN, CBS News, NBC News, and ABC News finds 425 individual stories about Queen Elizabeth II’s death since Sept 7—and 331 total stories on Climate Change since Sept 2020.” And what about rapid mass extinction due to industrial capitalism? https://thecolumn.substack.com/p/tv-news-did-more-stories-on-queen?s=r&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source=direct…

2. Ecosystem collapse and a horrifying biodiversity calamity in the coming decades is what we face, not just climate change. Mass media, a.k.a state-corporate media, can't reveal that we're living in an Extinction Economy.

3. How much influence does the BBC have worldwide? It still prides itself on inviting climate deniers on to its flagship TV and radio shows. Just look at this thread. You'd think rapid extinction wasn't happening. Or that it was something to enjoy: https://twitter.com/ClimateBen/status/1549507414843703297?t=YafDyWagX0DxbIEY3h-0HA&s=19…

4. 'Why do far more important..ongoing issues, such as quite literally the future of life on Earth, typically receive orders of magnitude less media attention?' Liberal capitalist media are a key part of the corporate system, protecting the deadly economy.https://www.dumptheguardian.com/environment/commentisfree/2022/sep/16/why-did-the-queens-death-receive-saturation-media-coverage-while-the-future-of-the-earth-goes-largely-ignored…
