If the corporate media is to be believed, Saturday’s “No Kings” protests were not only the biggest in that movement’s short history but the largest single day of protests ever recorded in the United States. Seven million people in one day, they insist. More than the Women’s March, more than the anti-war marches of the Bush era, more than anything seen in the 1960s. That is a massive claim. And yet, within 24 hours, a disturbing amount of the footage and imagery used to sell that narrative has been exposed as either old, mislabeled, or outright manipulated.
Another fake that did not happen today… this was June
Why do they have to fake so much?https://t.co/JzfMC5mbgI https://t.co/3G0ilEwQbB pic.twitter.com/MHWtZZ4To0

If the turnout really was historic, why would the media need fake B-roll?
One early CNN clip featured a breathless correspondent insisting the crowd in Washington was staggering, but only a few minutes earlier, viewers were supposedly able to see the real throng before it thinned. That is an odd way to document supposedly record-shattering attendance. Then came the fact checks. A clip amplified by MSNBC was flagged for being from seven years ago. Another segment titled “This is Boston” did feature Boston, but not in 2025. Additional clips were run through AI tools and shown to be manipulated or at minimum misrepresented.
Meanwhile, in print, the hype was full throttle. CNN quoted organizers claiming nearly seven million marchers nationwide, more than one hundred thousand in New York alone, and “small pockets” everywhere from major metros to rural town squares. They described the events as “largely peaceful” and cast the sea of yellow shirts as a symbol of unity against authoritarianism. Yet the visual evidence supporting the claim has been riddled with recycled content.

NBC likewise repeated the seven-million claim and even asserted that this weekend drew two million more participants than the last “No Kings” wave in June. Organizers declared that millions stood to “reject authoritarianism.” That is the script. But it does not answer the central question raised by critics. If the numbers are real, why is fake footage needed at all?
The reliance on debunked visuals invites the suspicion that the story being sold is bigger than the event itself. In an age of AI imagery, media activism, and choreographed narrative work, the burden of proof rests with those insisting the crowds were unprecedented. So far, the receipts are not matching the claims.
We can be certain MSM outlets that did the fakes will claim they didn’t do it. When they are presented with undisputable evidence. they’ll say it was just a mistake in editing.
We all know that the MSM cannot be trusted to post something even vaguely resembling the truth!
