We had over 5k come out at our major city and there was zero local coverage. Only AP showed up.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 14 points 3 months ago

Ap surprisingly based then not bad

Trump kicked them out of the press room for a reason, I suppose.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 11 points 3 months ago

Yeah you know, doing some actual journalism

Exactly lol. What authoritarians fear the most. Other than a mob of the working class, eh.

[-] alcibiades@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

Not surprising. AP always reports what happened. Not saying they’re unbiased and don’t receive support from the ultra-wealthy, but them and Reuters are always reliable sources

[-] Wuorg@50501.chat 5 points 3 months ago

The local coverage for my area was shit too. Disappointing.

Then you shoot video, and post it. We don't need permission from the media, we own the Internet, and the Internet is everywhere.

I'm really disappointed that none of the articles I've seen have included any estimates for how many people turned out and where.

The massive systemic censorship continues!

Article in Utah claims only 6k attendees. Look at that picture and tell me if you think that's true.

Honestly, yea. 100% coverage is being fucked with to make things seem worse than they are but I doubt there are even 3,000 people in that photo. May well have been over 6,000 people there and I sure hope there was but the photo is not a gotcha.

Grab group of ten people, further away so they’re more dense, then count out ten of those are you mentally paste it around the photo. That will be 100 people. Then take that and do the same thing ten more times and you’ll get 1,000.

Everywhere else for sure was crushing it, and honestly I feel like even 6,000 is a pretty great turnout for Utah, no?

I get the theory of the counting, I guess I'm biasing because I understand the shape of that field. The picture is probably 5/8 the field that was packed.

Along with the elevation. It's really hard to picture except from direct above, as the field drops out significantly. I couldn't even see the speaker from my vantage.

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Yea knowing just how big that field is, and it sounds like you were also there, really helps a a lot.

[-] kofe@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I saw some articles claiming a few hundred in my area, which isn't one of the largest but still a major city, so yeah, 6k is great

[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

One local news story said we had about 8 - 10,000 in Denver CO. I just hope we can keep that momentum to change something soon.

Hands off protestors in Denver, CO
