Tony Dokoupil on CBS Mornings said today that there were "hundreds of thousands" of No Kings protesters.

That kind of gross misrepresentation doesn't happen by accident.

This was while he was talking about a Bernie Sanders interview coming up next. I don't know if the show has otherwise reported accurately on No Kings.
