Yes, The Media Deliberately Misrepresented The Crowd Size At The Inaugural

The mainstream news media made headlines over the weekend out of what they labeled as a sub par crowd size at the inaugural. Their meme, of course, is that Trump is illegitimate, unpopular and really shouldn't be president.

The New York Times led the charge, with most of the media using this photo to compare the turnout for Barack Obama's 2009 inauguration with Trump's:

 

Now, given the rain and the threats of riots and violence by the Left I would have expected a lower turnout for President Trump. Barack Hussein Obama's inauguration certainly didn't have to cope with those particular obstructions.

But as it turns out, the picture of Trump's inauguration was taken very early, at 9:24 AM local time.

Fox New's reporter Brit Hume was among many who noticed that the turnout increased substantially later on, especially when President Trump and Vice President  Mike Pence were sworn in.

I was in the building at the bottom of picture on right yesterday. Shot was taken early, area was considerably fuller by time of speech.

Brit Hume added,

Independent Journal Review has a full story on this.

Now, Obama's crowd probably was larger.  If nothing else, Obama's inaugural didn't have to deal with rain or threats of riots. We don't know for sure the actual numbers of either, since the  National Park Service stopped doing  estimates in the 1990s. Satellite pictures were likewise impossible because of the weather.

What is certain is that there was a far bigger crowd for President Trump than the  corrupt media is willing to report, and they're simply misrepresenting  it to take another shot at Trump.

Fake news, or to use our dishonest partisan media's new euphemism, 'alternative facts.'

Or to quote Ben Smith, Buzzfeed's Goebbels, this is the new job for 'reporters' in 2017- do their best to destroy Donald Trump's presidency.

They will fail, but let's keep it to ourselves. the more they reveal themselves as the ethics challenged whores they are, the better.
