The only press coverage is by the foreign press. Where is the US media, sucking up to Trump and Clinton. We must break the establishment. Go New York shock the world!

Thanks. Love the ad!!! Hillary folks
will scream it is unfair because we fund him!!
the guardian article says 4000 inside and 2000 outside.
The stats cited in the lede
come from Sanders' Buffalo rally. The report from that rally is sandwiched in between a couple other reports about the Albany rally, so it's easy to see where the original poster confused the one for the other.

Please see narrative below for correct number of rally attendees
See the information below regarding the turn numbers. Correction- 11,000 in Buffalo and 6,000 in Albany. I hate being wrong but okay in this case because demostrates better show of support.
"After three false starts, a tuft of unruly white hair finally emerged from a sea of fresh-faced supporters. Bernie Sanders strode confidently to the podium and leaned forward, hands grasping the sides, eyes scanning the university stadium where more than 6,000 supporters encircled him.
Sanders pumped a fist in the air and the thunderous applause became impossibly louder. Outside, 5,000 more people who had sloshed through the wrap-around line to see him were not let into the arena."
Good catch- thanks
Add in 5000 in Binghamton yesterday
and on to Syracuse today. One of the lead-up speakers said "8 years ago I was 12". Jim Hightower said "thank you for inviting me to this Bernington Berniepalooza". Gates opened at 7AM, crowd started lining up at 2AM.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
He'll be in Poughkeepsie tonight
Marist College. Doors open at 4, Bernie's scheduled for 7. It's pouring rain right now but it's supposed to let you by 1 or so. I so want to go but out agreed dog can't be left alone for so long and my husband in NYC. I did get to the Climate Rally on Saturday which was pretty great: Bill McKibben skyped in, Bernie's Native American Advisor spoke (forget her name but she is fabulous), and Josh Fox spoke too. He's the producer/director of Gasland, a movie about fracking. A great couple of hours.

Most rallies are online
Here in the third world state of Alabama I don't always have enough band width to stream live, but almost every rally streams live. I have been to many Bernie rallies on youtube.
Somebody had a live stream of democracy spring yesterday. Amazing times.

This morning on CNN- Big Mo
They flashed to a rally in Manchester in a packed stadium. The reporter was asked how many people were there. He looked dumbfounded, "like what, that is news?". He stated had not spoken with the Fire Marshall (I was thinking why the hell not- terrible reporter), but he guessed hundreds if not thousands- what a lazy ass journalist. Because it appeared there were at least 2,000 to 3,000 people there.
That is why traditional media will disappear within the next decade or so- thank goodness.
