An illustrative example highlighted in recent commentary involves MSNBC. During a recent broadcast, footage from a 2017 Boston protest was deceptively presented as current live coverage of the No Kings rally. This type of manipulation is reminiscent of tactics employed by Vince McMahon's WWE decades ago, where attendance figures were artificially inflated to boost the event's grandeur. Wrestlemania 3, held in 1987, claimed an attendance of over 93,000, a figure that was likely exaggerated to enhance its prestige. McMahon's strategy of amplifying perceived popularity aimed to influence public perception and build a larger-than-life brand image—even when actual numbers told a different story.
