The letter to the Editor that the Monterey County Herald doesn’t want their readers to see (at least not yet):

Did the Herald happen to stop by the Tesla dealership in Seaside on Saturday? I was one of at least several hundred noisy and motivated protestors lining both sides of Del Monte Avenue for over two hours, expressing our negative feelings about Elon Musk’s Teslas,  The honking cars and waving passengers driving by understood they should refuse to buy the billionaire’s cars as a protest against his harmful activities in Washington. 

Then I was disappointed the next day when the Herald posted a photo of six protestors and writing about the “approximately 50 people” in front of the Tesla dealership on Saturday. If the Herald wasn’t there when the height of the  protest was happening, they should not pretend they were.

Monterey Herald version, March 31 (bottom photo and text below)

Approximately 50 people gathered in front of the Tesla dealership Saturday afternoon in Seaside as part of a nationwide protest against Elon Musk’s role with DOGE. Even as some protestors began to leave, a smaller group stayed for longer. Over 200 ‘Tesla Takedown’ protests took place on ‘Global Day of Action.’ (David Timonera – Special to the Herald)
