Our media continues to report on bullshit while ignoring the story: "Imagine that, instead of focusing on
short-term melodramas, leading news organisations rigorously probed
politicians, day in and day out, about the climate crisis.



Imagine that news editors and journalists
relentlessly challenged the government about current policies that are
bringing us closer to the brink of climate chaos.



Imagine that reporters investigated and
exposed the deep reluctance and state-corporate obstacles, including the
establishment media, that are blocking alternatives to climate
Armageddon.



Imagine, in other words, that we had a
sane media system. That could just mean the difference between human
survival and human erasure."]]> 792 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jRnYfigc3I Mon, 25 May 2026 13:45:19 +0000 791 https://ifloz.substack.com/p/nobody-wants-to-come-to-america-mate Mon, 18 May 2026 10:31:52 +0000 question, then came in with the kill shot dressed up as polite analysis: “If you’re going to see regime change to stop this war, forget about seeing it in Iran.
