CNN had live coverage and there was NOT 150,000 people there. There was a park where protestors organized before the march. A CNN reporter filmed the park area and it was was mostly empty. They estimated 10,000 at the time and said protest organizers were unhappy about the poor turnout. He also said the estimate of 10,000 seemed like an exxageration.

Organisers said around 400,000
police put the official figure at 150,000
BBC says As many as 250,000
The actual film shows not enough people to fill a small park.

The protests over high gasoline prices in England ( last year )lasted weeks and had a much higher turnout.
