- Angostura 7y agoAP reported "tens of thousand" and the government may have its own reasons for inflating a number, so I wouldn't take that as necessarily the last word in accurate counting.
- eternalban 7y agoNo AP reporting, including the pictures used, were the distortion of facts. There are pictures of this event and you can find it on the net. It was massive. Treatment in the US press reminded me of our own massive demonstrations before the Iraq war (which also never made it to the front pages of our “journals of record”.)
- Angostura 7y agoIf you would post a link to one of these pictures that unequivocally shows a crowd of around a million, that would be helpful.
