Do groups of a few hundred Magats really deserve a platform?

1. This is what Trump and Fox noise did to change what's being covered by news networks.

I want the pre-2015 days when most of crazy right wing things aren't covered by CNN or MSNBC. And please bring back global news, we really don't need Trump 24/7.

2. Reminds me of Mr. Show's Channel Six "On the Spot News"

3. It's entertaining.

4. It's infotainment for the purpose of generating profits

And it’s pretty pathetic!

5. Chan 5 in Saginaw MI showed a bunch demonstrating this AM.

They had a float and a car with sound pulling it.. they were going to Wisconsin? (don't ask I don't know either). As they pulled out there were 5 cars filled with people. Only 5 cars .. there were maybe 10 people standing watching .. some with signs. I guess people just need something to do.

6. All out of proportion to their actual numbers

I remember millions of us turning out against the invasion of Iraq. But we were just a "focus group" according to the Bush administration and that was faithfully parroted by a media that was slavering for war. Then it turned out that we were right all along, and the collective media shrug registered at earthquake monitoring centers.

These knuckleheaded miscreants are accorded respect and credence by a cowed media skeered of a mean tweet from Needy Amin.

7. Yes

A million person protest in NY got 2 minutes on the evening News.

8. Use their BS against them to short circuit them...

Infiltrate their republican echo chamber sites and say that there is direct evidence that the Deep State is contaminating their protesters with COVID-19 and let their echo chamber run with it.
1) They will avoid protesting.
2) They will go even more nuts and make all others not want to have anything similar with them and they will keep circulating lies that most people wouldn't buy, especially when they RUN the Deep State.

9. Too much

Sorry, isolation has me becoming more pedantic.
