Yesterday they said 60,000. Sat they said 40,000. Fri they said maybe 10,000 would show up.
There were 40,000 at the 2017 Women's March in San Diego and this was easily 50% larger than that.
Do NOT believe the MSM when it comes to reporting FACTS and actually does the math correctly.
They also said yesterday that 5 million marched across the US. Today they say it was 11 million.
My point is that you can NOT rely on facts and coverage of liberal events from the MSM unless violence is involved. They are greedy, corporate millionaire traitors who are happily OWNED by the GOP.
The numbers I just reported will increase over the next few days. When a small mid-western town of 800 residents has 400 protesters you know this protest, easily the largest in US history, will increase when they get their calculators out.
I said on DU on May 28th that there were over 1,000 NO KINGS protests planned. I followed the numbers for 3 weeks and kept track. I increased those numbers over the last 3 weeks in my posts here on DU.
NO KINGS was my 30th protest in San Diego (28 were between 2016 and 2020) and I am pretty experienced at estimating crowd sizes. Too bad the "professional number counters" the MSM uses are about as accurate as my 1st grade students' math skills. Actually, my 1st graders were better at it. Maybe it is due to the fact that my students didn't have an agenda tied to $$$$$$$$$.
CNN and the NYTimes ghosted the whole protest until violence was linked to it by the MAGATS in 2 cities out of over 2,700+ cities. No surprises here!

(3,055 posts)An easy 0.5 million. Times the 5 largest protests and we are at 2.5 million. The other 2295 protests had to average 4,000 each. We did it and corporate media is pushing propaganda - they do not want us to know how powerful this is. That is also the reason we felt so good this weekend. Keep marching.

(53,204 posts)I've follow two guys on YouTube (Adam Mockler and Harry Sissin) over the past few weeks and Harry reported from the protest in NYC. I believed him when he said it stretched for over 20 blocks and was easily attended by 1/2 million marchers. I also read that the number is higher than that, possibly closer to 3/4 million.
Meanwhile, tRump's PR/media pals (Steven Cheung in particular) reporting there were 250,000 at his birthday parade. They showed pictures of the crowd and there were more like 2,500 at most! Woodstock had 250,000 and that parade "crowd" was minuscule.
Americans need to do this constantly and we will but the MSM will block our progress at every turn. Stay strong, informed and stay active!!!

(34,195 posts)the incessant manipulation of events to create a perception is on overdrive. Not one word should be accepted as truth.
