Want to see Mainstream Media LIE?

"Several dozen of them have taken their message to the mayor's home, walking on the sidewalk out front and chanting, "Fight, fight, fight, healthcare is a human right." ...when they were at the mayor's home, there were more neighbors and reporters than there were protesters."

The protesters seem to be the ones sitting. And there indeed appears to be several dozen of them. Most of the people standing look like press - a closer looks shows that many of them have cameras.

Who knows what's going on off camera, but this photo does not appear to be at odds with the wording in the ABC report.

Looks much larger than that.
What's several dozens? 6 or 7? 7x12 = 84
Looks like over a hundred to me but we would need a bigger photo to see how many

It wasn't a huge protest, but certainly enough to fill a city block on their way back downtown.
