BBC News had a reasonably sized piece in rotation this morning about the march (including an interview with some chap who managed to perpetuate every negative stereotype about climate change activists by failing to brush his hair or put on a clean jumper, let alone a shirt and jacket, before going on the telly).

Deathly silence most other places, though.

The reason these things are not reported is simply because the media know most people don’t care about them. The media give people what they want to read, or hear. The uncomfortable truth is, many people are far more interested in John Sergeant quitting Strictly Come Dancing than actual issues, like climate change.

I mean, I’d happily read a newspaper which reported on issues like climate change on a regular basis, but sadly, a newspaper that did that would just go out of business. Many people in this country are far too stupid and lazy to care about anything, and the media can’t help that. Newspapers have to sell.

Is it the same march I covered yesterday in my NetCast?

John Sergeant quit???

Sarah: sort of. The one you linked to appears to have been an addendum to the main one which was a big cross-party thing.
