Well said, unfortunately not just the US media.
Australian media is also hypocritically biased in their “so called “ reporting.
Nothing new though, since 2014 it was the bs ruzzian separatists narratives.

- enables the #GazaGenocide
- locks up, tortures & deports people for being not white
- does mass murder on the high seas.

I know that the vast majority of people don't follow climate activism, but at this exact moment in time that's a big problem because the "centrists" in power in Canada & those that promote them are literally following a fossil fuel industry designed campaign to delay action on Climate Change.
