1. The protest was tiny- about 40 or 50 people, max.
2. Jane Fonda’s premeditated arrest was the news hook,
facilitated by advance press release.
Jane Fonda will be there, therefore climate change is A Very Big Deal!!
Perfect example of agitprop/ fake news.
Also excellent example of The Masses Ain’t Buying It.
