Extinction Rebellion
ER early today delayed the distribution of several newspaper titles, including the Sun, Telegraph and Daily Mail by blockading the entrances to three printing plants.
Legitimate tactic, or suppression of free speech?

Re: Extinction Rebellion
This thread really ought to get them going. Good work Electro, although a tip for next time is don't waste your time writing content in a post with Extinction Rebellion in the thread title. That alone will be sufficient to smoke out the undesirables.

Re: Extinction Rebellion
I can't recall the last time I read a physical copy.
Most are free online, but if I was a regular telegraph reader, for example, I'd pay for it over getting a printed copy.
We are probably still a number of years away from being able to do away with printed papers.
Re: Extinction Rebellion
I don't really have a problem with some crusty, old moonbats chaining themselves to lampposts or whatever, but I did find plenty of commentators views on the situation amusing.
There seemed to be lots of the usual suspects claiming we don't have a free press because most newspaper sales are gathered by a handful of billionaires.
Like people are forced to read certain newspapers, and the ones that agree with their particular beliefs are on the brink of bankruptcy because of some new world order type conspiracy theory.
Free press to them means restricting by force,all news and opinions that they don't agree with.
They are becoming the epitome of everything they claim to hate

Define free firstly.
All of the press give their slanted views on things.
Not often you'll find an unbiased opinion on something important.
You can watch a politician talk on TV and then newspaper articles will twist what's said to suit their agendas.

Council of Europe issues media freedom alert over UK government blacklisting of investigative journalists
The UK government has been formally warned for threatening press freedom after it blacklisted a group of investigative journalists and denied them access to information.
Hours after the latest media freedom alert was issues, the prime minister Mr Johnson said: "A free press is vital in holding the government and other powerful institutions to account on issues critical for the future of our country, including the fight against climate change. It is completely unacceptable to seek to limit the public’s access to news in this way.
Mr Johnson was referring to blockades of printing plants for the Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, The Sun, and The Times by Extinction Rebellion activists.

Re: Extinction Rebellion
The purpose of the press is to inform. They should report news honestly and without bias. Having an editorial slant is fine, but when that editorial slant informs the way news is reported, a paper no longer informs but propagandises. There is no simple line to draw in this, but in most papers that have very rich owners this line is crossed so often and so far to be regularly misinforming their readers.GodIsADeeJay81 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 10:21 amDefine free firstly.

What is the difference between a government censoring a paper, and an owner doing so? It might be good for the owner - Murdoch has been very successful as a media mogul - but what’s the point if the media no longer fulfils it’s role to society? Personal politics doesn’t even come into this. We should all aspire to having a diverse media that informs through giving us the news, while also having its own editorial slant. Not too much to ask. But we won’t get that while a handful of rich foreigners own our papers.

Re: Extinction Rebellion
I think sales are around 5 million per day still (obviously excluding free papers here). The Mail and The Sun have around a million each & I think the former recently overtook the latter which has been "top of the pops" for umpteen decades.
The average newsagent probably nets around £30 on a Saturday from newspaper sales. Of course people coming in for a paper may also buy fags, etc too and further contribute to profits.
As well as reading papers (UK and foreign) online, I buy a paper Fridays and Saturdays - mainly for sports coverage and for crosswords/puzzles. I like to walk out to a newsagents about a mile away so I get a decent bit of exercise. I failed to get my selected paper yesterday morning- I started buying Telegraph after decades of Guardian (though I miss Saturday's cryptic crossword).
Despite the "this'll get them going" gaslighting attempt above. My view is that ER has gone too extreme and probably damaging their own cause at this stage. Theyve largely become just another complaining anti-right rent-a-mob.
Politicians from both major parties have condemned this Friday night activity - except Dawn Butler who initially made a supportive tweet comment (now removed).
Ironically, The Sun published an article by Sir David Attenborough yesterday supporting environmentalism and that was one of the publications disrupted.
And, since I've "got going"... I think this incident has exposed the police to further criticism of going soft on some disruptive protests (following their "knee taking" mistake). They didnt try very hard at all to stop criminal behaviour on Friday night, seemingly treating it as a protest rather than criminality (which clearly its was).

News outlets play to their base readers, they've always done it.
Some, like the Sun, attempt to judge public opinion and jump ship accordingly.

About a month ago they released research on the profile of a typical Extinction Rebellion member. It was discussed on the radio.
It found they were disproportionately- white, female, southern, middle class, well educated and in better paid employment.

Diane Abbott has also claimed the actions of ER weren't illegal, this is dangerous because legitimatizing such behaviour could lead to them becoming more daring in their protests, nobody is saying they can't protest, and make their point forcefully, however I genuinely don't think stunts like this do them any favours, and sadly the message, which is important will just get lost amidst all the furore, equally I disagree with the government's idea to reclassify them as an organised crime group that is ridiculous.
Ed Davey got it spot on in his response they're "shooting themselves in the foot"., and I really don't see how they're going to win hearts and minds like this.

There has indeed been plenty of talk about extinction rebellion and white privilege. In particular in relation to their strategy of people accepting arrest in order to publicise the issue.
Given the well documented radial inequality in the criminal justice system this is a much riskier strategy if you're not white.

The Guardian and Times regulate themselves, others through Ipso.
People like Piers can sit there gobbing off about things and his views are respected by many quite bizarrely despite what he did with the phone hacking.

Re: Extinction Rebellion
Loads still do, two of my children do paper rounds and during lockdown their rounds got bigger because people were at home and there hasn’t been a drop off, even since people have been encouraged back to work.
They got a lie in yesterday as well, so there was an upside for a few.

Putting the Leveson conclusions into practice would have been a good start - though only scratched the surface of the problem - and continuing the enquiry might have shone a light on how the U.K. press have colluded with the police (if they haven’t, or it was a small problem, then great!). To me it underscores the power the press have, to have avoided all of this after everything that came out during the enquiry.GodIsADeeJay81 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 12:47 pmOf course it could be improved, but it doesn't have a singular regulatory body.
The Guardian and Times regulate themselves, others through Ipso.
People like Piers can sit there gobbing off about things and his views are respected by many quite bizarrely despite what he did with the phone hacking.
If ever someone needed cancelling its that turd.
With the Murdochs alone, the senior people claimed no knowledge of criminality - thereby saying their management was so poor, they didn’t know what their underlings were doing. Rank incompetence that has been rewarded by new senior positions within Murdoch’s empire.
