Where the hell did that 11M number come from?
Somehow that number started to spread on social media, but no proper news outlet is reporting that.
That said, the major cities all had crowds that dwarfed Trump’s General Aladeen themed birthday party.
And they probably won't. The best we'll get is watered-down slop or misreporting that frames the movement as small and unimportant.
It's not in the interests of corporate media to accurately report on protests against the Trump administration. It might make some ad money in the short term, but it's antithetical to the goals of both the owners and the corporations to piss off Trump:
Edit:
The AP certainly didn't choose to publish many photos that show off the actual scale of the protests: https://apnews.com/photo-gallery/no-kings-protest-trump-us-b5de52994b7c592034fb19b7d3e9d577
