We had over 5k come out at our major city and there was zero local coverage. Only AP showed up.
- Ap surprisingly based then not bad
  
  Trump kicked them out of the press room for a reason, I suppose.
  
  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
- 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?
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.
- Another post said 3 million
- Closed out with 5 million.
