What a great action

"BREAKING: In an act of civic duty, Extinction Rebellion has taken on the tabloid media this morning in a series of actions calling out their blatant suppression of crucial news on the climate and ecological crisis. In London, three people met The Sun’s political investigative reporter Amir Razavi in a sting operation, where they posed as #whistleblowers there to provide him with top secret information. The group questioned Razavi about his climate ethics, asking him to explain his newspaper’s 30-year campaign of climate #lies and misinformation.

The Extinction Rebellion citizen journalists took the rare opportunity to ask why #TheSun continues to withhold, deny and downgrade vital information on the scale of the climate crisis and its root causes, just days after Antonio Guterres likened the latest #IPCC report to a “survival guide for humanity”

While this was taking place, over at the headquarters of Rupert Murdoch’s News UK at London Bridge, the #Telegraph HQ in Victoria and the offices of the #DailyMail in Kensington, several people spray painted the buildings with green washable paint using fire extinguishers. A large banner with the words ***‘CORRUPT AS FUCK’*** was attached to multiple helium filled balloons at New UK and was floated up in front of the office windows on higher floors to highlight the destructive influence of media moguls such as Rupert #Murdoch on #democracy.

People on the ground stuck stickers to the office windows which invited onlookers to come to Parliament from 21st April to attend The Big One, where tens of thousands will stand together to demand citizen-led climate action."
