It gets even worse if you've gone to protest events in person to check it out as I have, most of the events the media spam about are hugely exaggerated. They even go to the lengths of taking closeup photographs of about 100 protestors to make it look bigger than it really is.
Which is why when you look at protests you look at the raw footage uploaded by normal people not activists and journalists. It's usually about 100 - 200 people max unless it's a particularly big event with a bunch of confused looking normies watching from the sides with the media all focused on the protestors with their overly fancy high resolution cameras trying to film any drama or conflict they can for click-bait.
