Media must stop normalising the far right.

Every uncritical mention of far-right rhetoric is an editorial decision with political consequences.

Every headline, every clip, every click adds weight.

@AliceStollmeyer when I grew up, tell the far-right to feck off was the undisputed golden and only rule.

* "What if they don't?"
- Well, for starters they will suffer at the hands of the ones they enable. Which we can see in real time in places where the fascists have any kind of power.
Problem is that they seem to be wholly invested in their own demise.

What we can do is like you said photobombing live broadcasts, but also relatively low effort things like writing physical mail to complain/inform.

The sad truth is that many owners of the media platforms are simpatico with the far right and the cause and effect is the other way around. Wealthy oligarchs would prefer a far right environment rather than a liberal democratic because they see it as better for business and their own personal enrichment.
