WGAF? What they showed was happening and they were lying. How many watched? The 6 or 7 dumbshits that watch them.
Why does it matter? Because they made a choice to not go and mix with the crowd, talk to them etc., or to report on the sentiment among attendees. That’s something you can only cover by actually being there. Maddow, and co. were afraid of showing up in person and having their finely crafted narrative challenged in person. Instead, they stayed in their bubble where they couldn’t have their ideas challenged. But they wanted to create the illusion that this was not the case.
