Reuters report exaggerates number of protestors in Central square of Ulaanbaatar

In recent news coverage of Mongolia, Reuters reports "thousands rally in Mongolia to call for gov't step down". The story can be found here.

As summer arrived, we in Mongolia began to experience "spring syndrome" where all kinds of political activity takes place in central square of Ulaanbaatar and not many takes these seriously.

In addition to the usual blah blah, the story seriously exaggerated the number of protestors. It was maximum 500 people, members of opposition Democratic Party (DP) and there's no sign that it was taken seriously by public.
