When did Trump get sworn in?
The left photo at the Trump rally was taken early in the morning as people were arriving. It is not what I saw during the inauguration. Who knows who had more people. It is just great that Marxism got rejected and a big FU to CNN and their lies.
Our local Fox Philadelphia morning news show was showing the comparison photo with 8 am vs 11:30 for Obama’s. But they purposely cut off the Trump time stamp....enlarged the pgoto enough that the 8 wasn’t showing. Then they go on to make a snide joke saying “gee I don’t see much of a difference...hahaha”
Note that the CNN image is taken with the Capital building in the rear and does not show as much distance, while the others are looking forward, so it is hard to judge. But a lot of people do seem to have arrived by the time Trump gave his speech, even if the crowd may not be as large as Obama’s was.
I bet there is a video feed that ran in each inauguration, maybe c-span, wherein one could capture matching timestamp pictures. at the swearing in, at the president’s speech, appears the mall was full. Same with both presidents. It is propaganda for media to ignorantly or intentionally mismatch photos to further their agenda.
THey also required people in the more remote viewing areas to go through magnetometers for the first time, and this slowed the rate at which the crowd filled-in. So even a photo taken at the same time in Obama vs. Trump would not account for this difference.
The ground truth is in the Gigapixel posted by (even) CNN. It plainly shows the size of the crowd while Trump is speaking and those remote areas are full. Why is this even being argued about?
The MSM is heavily invested in marginalizing the Country’s support for Trump. The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
The two photos that CNN had side by side and the narrative that Trump’s inauguration was not well attended showed a blatant attempt to grasp at any straw to make a snide comment about DJT.
Any one who watched the swearing in ceremony knew that the sparsely populated picture was a blatant attempt to downplay the support shown for DJT.
Just one more nail in the coffin for CNN. CERTIFIED NOT NEWS.
They’ve been harping on the *Trump is not a legitimate president* since he got elected.
They’re just trying to further turn people ahd public opinion away from him.
It’s not working. The harder they push the more they damage their credibility. Since they no longer control what is fed to us because we have other sources for our news, they’ve lost their control and power.
Too bad for them.
They just keep continuing to expose themselves for the liars they are.
The media, particularly CNN remains focused on a irrelevant issue.
Yes, more Liberals go to where crowds are going, they are the party that loves the mobs. It goes with a mob mentality. Conservatives are more individuals, and tend much less to favor going to where the crowds will be.
"I saw a new Reuters article entitled "Crowd controversy: The making of an Inauguration Day photo ," which reported that the popular images to the left and right of the CNN images ( taken from this panorama view ), were taken at different times, the one on the right of President Barack Obama's first inauguration was taken at 1:27 p.m., while Reuters reported that the other one showed U.S. President Donald Trump's inauguration at 12:01 p.m.
Meanwhile, the CNN image shows Trump giving his speech, and it appears a lot of people showed up. Perhaps the traffic was such that it caused this. Interesting comparison I would say."
Reuters is lying with their cited photo times. . . both of them. Only the CNN photo above, which is taken from the Gigaplex photo taken while President Trump is giving his Inauguration Address (you can see him standing at the podium making the speech in the Gigaplex photo!), shows the correct crowd near 12 Noon on January 20, 2017. Since President Trump was sworn in starting at 12:02 PM on January 20, 2017 and started his Inaugural Address at approximately 12:04 PM, after hugging family members and shaking hands, and finishing the speech just sixteen minutes later at 12:20 PM, that source image is pretty well established in time to somewhere in that sixteen minute time frame.
The photo on the left, the one showing the sparse crowd has now been reliably shown to have FIRST been tweeted at 9:02 AM Eastern Time on January 20, 2012 as people were starting to arrive, filling in the available areas which had been covered by a white tarp.
