Last week, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took Bernie’s “Fighting Oligarchy” tour out west, attracting impressive crowds, including 15,000 in Phoenix and 34,000 in Denver.

Ah, River, an investigative journalist you are not. Maybe when your source of information is not just the NYT you will improve.

Analysis of the crowds using technology to count the number of cell phones in the crowds indicated the attendance was similar to data offered by the Gaza Health Ministry inflating casualties. Crowds were large, but maybe half the number claimed.

It was also noticed that over 60% of the crowds were not local, but moved from one session to another across the country. I am guessing they were ‘paid’ to attend.

River, maybe you are best suited for a NYT job?
