      Not fully free from similar issues here. For instance, the BBC is massively downplaying turnout

      The BBC is saying “thousands” were protesting on April 19th when others estimate in the range of 4 million. Counting people in photos on social media in just a handful of cities gives a figure higher than thousands. There were hundreds of protest locations

      The BBC also claims there were “tens of thousands” on April 5th when it was estimated at 3-5 million. There were over 100 000 in DC and 100 000 in NYC alone on April 5th!
