Our friends @slpng_giants_fr are facing legal threats from two notoriously toxic news outlets following the massive success of their campaign to defund hateful media in France.

But you can't sue an idea - and the campaign to make hate unprofitable is now a global movement... /1
CNews & Valeurs Actuelles may not like it, but the companies we shop with care what their customers think. And the public has every right to speak out & urge brands to stop advertising with these toxic channels... /2 huffingtonpost.co.uk/richard-wilson…
While attacking our friends @slpng_giants_fr, Valeurs Actuelles also make quite an admission: "The outrageous methods used by the Sleeping Giants have met with great success"...

They're lashing out because these campaign tactics work 👏👏👏/3

If you work for a major advertiser and you haven't already added valeursactuelles.com to your brand safety exclusion list, now would be a very good time. Here's how: ==> support.google.com/google-ads/ans… /4
If you work for a media buying agency that does business in Europe you should definitely ensure that your clients don't end up on CNews - more background on them here: /5 theguardian.com/world/2021/may…
The fightback against hate is a global effort, and ultimately we all benefit from the work that @slpng_giants_fr are doing. You can help by following their account & sharing their tweets in solidarity: #StartSpreadingLove #StopFundingHate /6

If to be ‘woke’ is to be anti-racist, then by branding themselves an ‘anti-woke’ TV channel, GB News seem to be making their intentions quite clear... #DontFundGBNews theguardian.com/media/2021/jun…
Great explainer here on the origins of the word "woke": antiracismdaily.com/archives/learn…

If you've wondered why the UK news industry has such a problem with institutional racism, it's worth remembering that the industry's Editors Code guidelines have a whole section spelling out that comparing African migrants to "cockroaches" is acceptable: editorscode.org.uk/downloads/code…
The UK news industry has specifically gone out of its way to ensure that articles which are "discriminatory against gay people in general, autistic people in general or transgender people in general" are permitted under its "Editors' Code": ipso.co.uk/news-press-rel…
In its decision to permit the publication of articles that are discriminatory towards entire groups of people, the UK news industry has put itself directly at odds with international standards for ethical journalism. For example the IFJ charter: ifj.org/who/rules-and-…

Concerns over the threat of "Fox News style" media standards being imposed in Britain have been exacerbated by reports of a plan to install ex-Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre as chair of Ofcom: theguardian.com/media/2021/jan…

Did you know that the "anti-woke" media narrative is regularly promoted by the Russian Government's notorious international propaganda channel RT? It's perhaps worth reflecting on why they might be so keen to push this...
More examples of the Russian Government's international channel RT pushing the "anti woke" narrative:
The Russian Government's anti "woke" TV channel RT would like you to know that Christmas is under threat from the "warriors of woke on their identity crusade"...
