Campaigners say there have been 100,000 people in London protesting about climate change this weekend. And yet #TheBigOne is invisible across all bar 1 mainstream media front pages & so far totally ignored by the @BBCNews app, BBC Twitter & BBC Instragram accounts.
🧵
Here’s a selection of what ‘national news’ the BBC decided was more newsworthy of sharing with its millions of Twitter followers in the last 48 hours than fighting to save millions of human lives and one million species from extinction.
1. Royal propaganda
2. Disasters of a smaller scale, given the bigger picture of what's at stake.
3. Wacky wildlife [that is not yet extinct but a lot of it will be heading that way...]
4. A whole ton of other distractions, deemed by the BBC to be more newsworthy than the fight that's going on to stop mass extinctions. Just a selection.
