    • Press releases aren’t very good if the press doesn’t cover them
    • They show some signs. And a handful of signs don’t convey just how many people are all shouting in unison. Cherry picking the witty quotes is like a BuzzFeed list.
    • Nope. Hard no. A picture speaks a thousand words, but those words are up to interpretation by the viewer. It can mean different things to different people. Photos don’t convey the chants, the yelling, the questions, and the raw emotion of a crowd.
    • Cherry picking a few signs missing the whole point of the protest in that MILLIONS are demanding answers and change. The reason of the protest isnt what’s written on the signs. It’s that we are large swaths of people organizing and demanding change or answers. That they need to answer to the citizens at large. And not just the quips on a sign.

    And that’s not even representative of how many different fucking signs there are and if media pick up those that are more niche and don’t align with the protests at large.
