Look how the pro-climate change media turns on Greta Thunberg now that she’s an adult, left the “activist-inc” plantation and attacked the real enemy of humanity.
[Image, generated description: A split-screen image presents a visual comparison, with two distinct columns. The left column, labeled "After criticizing Israel," features headlines from news sources such as Forbes, Spiked, and the New York Post. These headlines, dated in 2023 and 2024, discuss Greta Thunberg and her views, with titles suggesting negative sentiment towards her. Accompanying these headlines are small thumbnail images of Thunberg, depicting her in various contexts. The right column, labeled "Before criticizing Israel," showcases articles from The New Yorker, The Washington Post, CNN, and The Guardian, dating from 2018 to 2021. Headlines from this section introduce Thunberg's activism, climate change advocacy, and praise. Thumbnails here also portray Thunberg, likely from earlier in her career. The image employs a clean, organized layout with white backgrounds and clearly defined columns. The overall impression is a side-by-side comparison illustrating a shift in media portrayal based on the subject's actions.]

This screenshot is stupid as fuck. You're comparing The New Yorker and The Guardian to Forbes and the New York Post, and presenting that as evidence of some grand conspiracy? At least try...
And to be clear, Forbes and the New York Post are absolutely not "pro-climate change" unless that means "let's keep making climate change worse."
It's not only anecdotal, they didn't even compare examples from the same outlets.
I'm also slightly triggered by the term "pro climate change".
That said, bottom left really takes the cake.
Yeah, what was Forbes et al saying about Greta when she was 15? If the screenshot was comparing headlines from the same publication i could see the criticism, but this comparison is dumb, as you said.
Plus, Forbes is different than the rest of the news sites pictured in that almost anyone can be a contributor and write articles (see WP:FORBESCON). I do think it would be fair, though, to say that the legacy media which wrote glowing profiles of Greta years ago have been mostly silent in comparison lately. That's just harder to capture in image format.
Several of those sites have or have had contributor articles also. Some have revised or shut down those programs. A quick search says the Guardian has it from 2013 to 2018. They still also take freelance commissions, though not sure if they have a vetting process.
