Did you hear the news? They say “five million people” took to the streets to protest “No Kings” last Saturday. Know how I know there are five million people? Because the public relations firm hired by organizers – fully funded by spoiled, entitled, white billionaires – put out a press release saying so, that’s how I know. Well, they put out the press release, then “honest journalists” all across the media spectrum simply repeated the number without making even a passive attempt to verify it. Accuracy is for suckers when the agenda is on the line.

That’s how the scam works: Leftists declare something is going to happen, and it’s going to happen all across the country, in “2000 cities across the country,” then the media dutifully reports that. They are reporting that something “will happen” and the size of it, which is not news, it is PR. Then, when it does happen, they report whatever numbers the leftists give them.

I noticed this phenomenon during the “Fight for $15” – the push to destroy fast food restaurants from coast to coast. They swore there would be 200 protests across the country, but were there? No one ever........
