Channel 9 early news today reported Al Gore saying, "eat less meat". Gore went on to say in the very lengthy news item that he was not a vegetarian but was eating less meat.
People eating less meat equates to less demand for meat, less meat sold and less profit for many farmers. No matter how much less profit for farmers it may be enough to send many into even deeper financial difficulty, or off the land alltogether.
So how to retaliate to overcome this call that Gore has made and that Ch9 has openly broadcast on free to air television.
News has so much power, an absolute majority of people mostly believing what they hear on the news. And here again, farmers are the victims, blamed for causing damage to the GBR and now looked at as the people with animals causing CO2 and global warming.
I think the best way to overcome this 'eat less meat' news is to focus an Agmates push on Ch9 to now provide equal news time with information of substance toward establishing debate that Gore is wrong. Barnaby Joyce could challenge the Gore statement, especially if he was briefed of other causes of CO2 that Gore has not addressed, such as nutrient pollution algae anaerobic bacteria related methane vents in seabed.
If Ch9 will not be fair and honest by providing such equal time then Agmates could respond by making news type statements for people to consume less product advertised on Channel 9.
Channel 9 is boycotting the plight of Pacific Island people suffering increased malnutrition including anaemia linked to a recent 69% increase in maternal mortality. Ch 9 is boycotting innocent mothers and babied dying unnecessarily off or shores. Ch 9 is boycotting the plight of farmers including impact of unjustified accusation it is farmers damaging the GBR. Ch 9 is not reporting true debate about need or not for a CPRS and an ETS.
Ch9 is reporting one sided news and that situation needs to change. An Agmates promotion to watch less of Ch9 could also be an option.
