If the mainstream media is to be believed, this weekend’s No Kings protests were by far the largest ever.
And we’re not talking just the largest No Kings protests.
They are claiming it was the largest turnout for a single day of protests in the history of the United States — PERIOD.
That’s a big claim.
So if that’s true… why are there so many examples of the mainstream media using OLD or MANIPULATED footage in their coverage?
Maybe, like so much else, the mainstream media is focused on propping up an agenda… rather than simply reporting the facts as they really are?
I can’t claim this first example is definitively FAKE — but you can usually spot a salesman pushing you to buy what he’s selling.
The dead giveaway usually shows up in the delivery. Not ‘selling’, but OVERSELLING.
Check out this 36-sec clip from CNN with their reporter SO EXCITED to hype up the size of the crowd in DC.
Which… we’re told we could have seen for ourselves, if ONLY we could have seen it ‘just a few minutes ago’, before the crowds ‘thinned out’:

Probably because most had to catch their bus, and many had to get back to the home or miss their afternoon fruit cup.
OLD or MANIPULATED footage in their coverage.
That covers just about everything the MSM uses for anything pro democrat.
Earlier illegals did that. The new wave of shipped-in illegals have no intention of doing that if they can avoid it. Getting on the dole is the priority. Play games to milk the system from there on…if they’re nice.
I get pretty disgusted when you watch them whip out their gov’t issued cellphone ATM at Walmart and all the pricey restaurants. If the U.N. wants them treated like Democrat royalty by the taxpayers of the country forced to take them in, the U.N. should be required to payback every cent paid for their “better life” to the American taxpayers who the money is stolen from. I can find NOWHERE in the U.S. Constitution that Americans owe all of the world’s freeloaders “a better life”. IT DOES NOT SAY THAT!!!
Who ever said the media wasn’t about hype? Isnt that what increases their ratings & isn’t ratings that keeps them afloat?
