Just a small portion of the billionaire corporate media complaining about climate activists blocking roads:
BBC News: Coverage has focused on disruptions to daily life caused by protests from groups like Extinction Rebellion and Insulate Britain. Reports frequently highlight the impact on commuters, businesses, and emergency services, as well as public backlash against the tactics employed by these activists.
The Guardian: While often more sympathetic to environmental causes, The Guardian has still criticised specific tactics that cause harm to vulnerable people. For instance, coverage mentioned delays to ambulances and health services caused by roadblocks, questioning the proportionality of such actions.
The Evening Standard: Reports have underlined the frustration of motorists and incidents of confrontations. One article described drivers dragging protesters off roads, sometimes resorting to aggressive behaviour, as in protests at Blackwall Tunnel and Wandsworth Bridge​
The Telegraph: Criticism has often framed these actions as counterproductive, alienating potential supporters due to the significant inconvenience caused. It has also covered government responses, such as injunctions and the introduction of harsher legal penalties for disruptive protests.
Sky News: This outlet has covered both sides, detailing the protesters’ demands and goals while simultaneously highlighting the disruptive nature of road blockages. Public opinions, often highly critical, are frequently included in its coverage.
Now notice the absolute hypocrisy and silence when this happens:
The Media won't acknowledge this video of the farmers blocking an ambulance with its blue lights on so could you could RT it so people see it? pic.twitter.com/PoWOXH1poT

Anyone would think that the billionaire corporate media were not showing due impartiality, wouldn’t one?
