Amy MatthewsI find this fascinating.
Both the BBC and the Guardian in their headlines report 1,000s attending the pro-Palestine marches [in London] but in their own video the Guardian describes them as "Hundreds of thousands".
No actual estimates of numbers are given.
I wonder, would a modern journalist consider reporting the number of atoms in the universe as in their 1000's?
