"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 Copy of the Tweeted Photo (L), Section CNN of Gigaplex Photo (Center), Unknown photo of Obambi Inauguration (R)

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.

Interesting. A search on the issue results in myriads of pages posting the same contrasts as if they were taken at the same time. Note that in Barack Obama's first inauguration the big white building is not there, and the crowd that is shown extends beyond it, and which area is not visible in any images we have. However, in stark contrast to the comparative image used by the MSM of Trump's inauguration crowd, the CNN image does show the crows as filling all the sections back to that building.

Given the fact DC itself is heavily liberal, and that such are less likely to be tied to blue collar jobs they cannot get time off from (or do not have jobs), and with Soro$ tend to be more organized, plus less security and opposition, in addition to the ground breaking election of the first black President, then a larger crowd would be expected. And which itself should not be an issue of contention, but that of the MSM uncritical use of vast disparity photos.
