    While it is a just comparison of 2 single data points, that doesnt necessarily mean they aren’t representative of the whole picture. (Not saying they are representative, either)

    Generally, cherry picking for something like this would be combing through data sets and finding outliers to point to that aren’t representative of the data as a whole.

    It appears they just took random photos of each sides most recent event. Now, maybe they did cherry pick photos and the Republicans, say, only trashed that one area, or the no kings’ photo is, say, the one area they didnt trash/ a photo of after the city cleaned up after them. (personally, I would have preferred a photo with protesters in it, not an after the fact shot)

    But without evidence to the contrary, IMO, this can’t be called cherry picking.
