   I find it deeply disturbing that the people who planned the attacks on the mosques in Ōtautahi chose the same day as the student's #Strike4Climate in #NZ. If one of their goals was to make sure news of the strike was swamped with sensationalist news about their own cowardly actions, let's make sure they don't achieve that goal. Don't feed them the reinforcement (positive or negative) that they crave. Especially when they're armed and hurting people. Focus on the kids.

      Exactly what I expected of #ClickBait corporate media. They are so easily distracted and their entire business model is based on feeding the loudest trolls they can find. Here's an example, where a page of live coverage on the #Strike4Climate protests has been hijacked into covering the mosque shootings:
