A lot of the “liberate” footage is meant to make these events look big.Here’s what the protest in Ohio today really looks like.

1. They're getting the t-bagger treatment

[FoxNewsSucks]

8. Yeah, apparently the Kochs

or whoever, being cheapskate billionaires, have realized they don't have to hire more than one busload of morons per location. The corporate media will do the rest and make it seem that EVERYONE supports them.

2. Dang, that isn't much more than you'd get on a warm Saturday afternoon!

Not a fraction of what we got at the Woman's marches in '17 or '18 in Columbus....

3. Well then...

If media in general was about getting the facts to us and investigation, then wouldn't that be the dominant message that would accompany any reporting on the AstroTurf manipulations, (which should also be emphasized)?

I can see sensationalism as driving viewership and that's just an extension of the "if it bleeds it leads" model, but what's the underlying motivation to be "news" and "reporting" if it is going to end up inflating, exaggerating and thereby supporting these events and giving them wheels?

4. It's a study group.

to see how many get the virus?

They are human guinea pigs.

5. Damn...I've seen more people on my metro link bus, going to work. One bus load.

Won't be long until their crowds are even smaller, unfortunately, being that's the way they want to be, infecting themselves and all others unfortunately to be in their way. God, I feel for the police officers putting themselves in harm's way for these idiots.

6. WHOA!!!! That crowd is YUGE!!!!!!!!!

Obama never had one like that!


(Oh, for any trolls reading - this is called )

7. Being counted by the same people who counted Trump's inauguration crowd.

[Sneederbunk]

9. Knee-jerk Liberates.

[safeinOhio]

10. If there is one near you

locate in a tall building or use a small drone to take pictures of the crowd.
