7-Million NO KINGS Turnout is ‘Biggest Ever’? Then Why Did Mainstream Media FAKE the IMAGES

WLT Report ^ | October 19, 2025 | Joshua C.

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’:

Videos and images at the link. Apparently both MSNBC and CNN showed video and images from the 2017 anti-Trump marches and claimed they were from the No King's marches.

[Candor7]

Reminds me of a semi vulgar joke with an MSNBC mouse floating down the river on a shingle laying face up with an erection, yelling " RAISE THE DRAWBRIDGE!"

The Dems and their left have been removed from power, except for a few municipal politicians and governors who are now part of a well defined nullification movement.They will be de-elected or locked up.Watch it happen.This is why CTV and MSNBC have become so desperate.

[Sirius Lee]

This is the number one story the MSM is trying to push today. The effort reeks of desperation and flop sweat.

I'm reminded of the practiced earnestness with which they tried to gaslight us about how good the economy was and how sharp Bite Me was two years ago.

[Sacajaweau]

They kept the government shut down....In the end, they accomplished absolutely nothing...Clue....Trump is President..not King!!

Various sources are now starting to pick up on this. Here’s another article on the topic, FWIW.

I almost can’t wait to see the happy harpies of view trying to upsell this nationwide fleamarket.

[mbrfl]

Lol. Should be entertaining.

Back in the nineties, I went to the Rally for Life at the Mall in Washington. The crowd was enormous; guards were estimating it at over a million. AP said 800,000. On CNN when the rally was happening live, they reported 60,000 were at the Rally. They just love to lie. I don’t believe anything the media says about crowd size, because they always make every liberal rally look like it’s the “biggest ever”, but no matter how large the crowd at at a conservative event, they make up low numbers- if they even bother to cover the event at all.

You cannot deny it was a resounding success. We now have no king. /s

[Omnivore-Dan]

Compared to the population of the U.S. 7 million is peanuts, and how many were paid protestors? I’ll bet if you added up all of the people attending Pres. Trump’s rallies and Turning Point U.S.A. rallies, you would probably get more than 7 million which I think is a gross exaggeration. Also many of Pres. Trumps rallies were downplayed by the leftist media with much lower counts than actual. I cannot believe anything coming from the left.

[Andy from Chapel Hill]

They say the crowds are filled with gray-haired retirees. “Q-Tips” they call them.

BTW, I guess I am a Q-Tip.

I think this all is a way to build a list of protestors for the eventual day that the Democrats get some leadership, a few credible candidates and a plan.

Also, this crowd seems more anti-Trump than Pro-Communism, so I think it will be a while before they have an electable slate of candidates.

There have been a lot of no kings demonstrations in our area.

They have been small turn out events on the side of the roads with hundred of so people.

Mostly 1960s ex hippies, LGBTQ+ rainbow activists with weird colored hair, illegal aliens and teachers union people.

This Saturday all the popular protest hangout were empty of protesters.

Not sure why. Maybe lack of support or maybe the Trump DOJ designating Antifa and it's funding sources as domestic terror organizations has dried up money and damped enthusiasm.

And also maybe because the illegal aliens are not so bold as they once were due to fear of deportation. .

[TalBlack]

As it was happening I saw no pictures of large crowds at all. Just the usual line of old hippies.

[coloradan]

2020 - “The most secure election in history!”

2025 - “The largest protest in history!”

Thanks for the “news”, gaslight media.

[metmom]

The pictures showing the attendance at the Concord NH protest show that part of the crowd is the farmers market that was in progress at the time.

No doubt, they used it for optics to make it look like the crowd was bigger that it was.

[cuz1961]

As I suspected

More fake but ( in) accurate snews.

Deep fake and bait and switch deceptions of the LEGION LEGACY MEDIA.

[Yardstick]

Let's see turnout per dollar spent by the organizers. That's the real measure.

[pepsionice]

I think if Trump wanted to have a laugh over this....he could come out with a executive order....banishing all American kings to Delaware.

[subterfuge]

And America yawned.

[redfreedom]

You over looked the “Safe & Effective” plus “Trust The Science” lies about the covid clot shots.

I think that massive propaganda effort is what woke many up to the fact that the media does nothing but lie.
