Apparently the media just doesn’t get it…
They think we’re not checking what they are saying/showing…
From Wisconsin- Apparently the public radio channel up there said ‘thousands’ were protesting at the Capital. The Milwaukee Paper said ‘four hundred’. But somebody took a picture…
Now I don’t know about y’all, but that doesn’t look like ‘thousands’ or ‘four hundred’…
Kinda reminds me of the infamous protests at various NRA conventions. ‘Hundreds of protestors lined the streets’ was maybe 50, and the pictures were VERY tight shots that looked like a crowd, but not hundreds. In Houston it was maybe a dozen…
And this one tripped the giggle box…
And you can add LEOs, Fire/Rescue, Doctors and Nurses…
For us, it was/is a coping mechanism for what we saw/dealt with…
Have a great weekend and enjoy the Stupor Bowl (or at least the commercials (or you can watch them HERE, from Outkick)!
That close to Chicago and they couldn’t find a Rent-a-Mob? Oh, right Elon dried up their USAID funding.
I saw something much the same years ago when I was leaving jury duty in downtown Philly.
The number of protesters I saw being interviewed as I walked by and the number of protesters in the evening news broadcast was quite different because of the media’s use of camera angles.
I thought about newspapers yesterday for a few moments, and I don’t recall that a paper advertisement every moved itself across the newspaper page to block what I was trying to read.
Maybe they brought all of their invisible friends.
In 1984, the Mondale-Ferraro campaign launched their post-convention campaign in Merrill, WI. I was there (History and all that…. They had avoided using the fairground’s (which they were at) GrandStand as they knew the ‘crowd’ could not/would not fill it. Instead a small area was made to look crowded. It’s all showmanship and manipulation.
WPR does tend to inflate the numbers. Driving around Capitol Square on my way home one time, I thought there were a few more people than usual. I didn’t realize it was a “major protest” until the media told me later that day.
Rounding errors.
Some groups you round up, others you round down.
Local paper showed a group protesting DOGE. They said almost 50 people. Including reporters it was almost 35.
All- Thanks for the comments, and agreed… Rounding errors…snerk…

They reused a Biden Rally photo…
I hope that the SuperBowl commercials make SuperBowl commercials interesting and fun again.
What, American Mainstream Maggots (h/t BZ) manipulating the news? Show my shocked face!
The media tells lies like this because they know plenty of mouth breathing morons…who vote…will believe them.
Yet more astroturf leftist outrage. Huh.
All- Good points!
RHT- Those are good ones!
And yes, they must be shown.
