Friends:
This weekend, something amazing happened: We used the national TV airwaves to expose corporate media for raking in fossil fuel money and then downplaying the climate crisis.
Watch this MSNBC video clip that’s gone viral. It followed my previous appearance on CNN in which I spotlighted how the media’s Big Oil and Big Pharma sponsors are gutting climate and health care legislation.
On MSNBC just now, I talked about how corporate media takes big money from fossil fuel advertisers and then refuses to seriously cover the climate crisis. I’m shocked they didn’t cut my mic. Thanks a ton to @AymanMSNBC for the serious discussion. Huge. pic.twitter.com/ewo9tu1bRW

To be honest, I’m surprised they didn’t cut my microphone, and I know that speaking out like this risks never being invited back on. But I don’t care. These emergencies are so huge that we have to use every opportunity we can to call out the villains.
