We missed chatter here yesterday because we were on bullshit patrol at @newscorpaus!

Yes, we’re the ones who dumped two tonnes of prime poo on Murdoch’s front door

#NewsCorpse must QUIT THE BULLSHIT and #TellTheTruth about the climate emergency.

Stinky shit ⬇️

THREAD:

Extinction Rebels from Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Tasmania coordinated with rebels in the UK and the US for an international day of action targeting media lies.

#NewsCorpse is the Lord of the Lies!

It must #TellTheTruth and reduce its lies of emission to zero!

Sydney ⬇️

Rebels in @xr_brisbane kicked off the international day of action by blockading News Corp’s printing press and distro centre.

9 Rebels were arrested, preventing lies from being delivered in Meanjin yesterday 💁

Rebels from @XRSouthAus staged street theatre outside Adelaide’s HQ of Climate Lies, demanding #NewsCorpse free the truth.

The truth was chained and doused in oil. Murdoch kicked back and watched on as our planet cooked 🌍🔥

Journalism and a love for dirty oil don’t mix! 🛢⏳

Whether serving as a mouthpiece for the fossil fuel cartels or demonising refugees, News Corp’s bullshit is versatile.

Rebels from @XRebellionUK have blocked News Corp’s printworks in London, Liverpool and Glasgow demanding @newscorp #FreeTheTruth and #TellTheTruth.

Rebels from @XRebelDC slid over to @CNN who claim to tell the truth about the #ClimateEmergency but continue to take money from the world’s worst climate criminals like @bp_America

BP even pay journos to pretend fracked gas is the future of energy! 🤯🤬

We say #FrackOff!

Amanda Stanley, Extinction Rebel from Liverpool said,

“It has become necessary to block lies in order to #FreeTheTruth, thereby showing ordinary people that they are the ones with the power, not the elite minority that own the newspapers and run the country.”

Larissa Payne, Extinction Rebel from Sydney said,

“We need courageous truth telling to prevent planetary collapse. If WWII could dominate front pages daily, if Covid can make headlines, where the hell is proportionate reportage on the greatest existential threat to humankind?”

Rebels from @ScotlandXR:

“This escalation of our tactics attacks a core pillar of fossil fuel capitalism. A corrupt media owned and run for the 1%, which feeds us lies about climate change, immigration and economics.”

We cannot prevent economic, social, climate or ecological collapse without truth telling.

Humanity needs a free press that tells the truth to survive and flourish, ensuring no one is left behind.

WE WANT TO LIVE!

Do you?
