It’d be better to compare time stamped pics from the same perspective.
Because of the perspective difference, especially in terms of elevation, you can’t actually make out that much a difference in crowd size between the pics. The reality pics look more populated because they’re closer to the crowd.
Note the “from monument” high-elevation pic shows the capitol, about 5 white squares with people on it, then some two level structure. Note also, the 3 small white structures to the left of the mall.
For other pics, at much lower elevation, note the same 3 white structures, now on the right, show people, but those that would be in the high-elevation pic, between the last of those 3 and the two layer structure, cannot not be seen due to the low elevation perspective.
Plus, the people on the grassy area, under the trees, are harder to make out from the high-elevation pics.
Plus, if the pics are taken even a half hour apart, it’d make a diff.
I’m not a fan of the media, but touting this set of pics as evidence of some vast difference in crowd estimates doesn’t work for me.
The level pics show SOME white all the way on the back right but nowhere near the empty HUGE white areas in the earlier pic. There was no Trump in the aerial ones also. It took people HOURS to filter in due to the violent rioters causing major check points.
I see people all the way back with a small white spot. By the end of his speech those areas were filled. Tens of thousands outside waiting to get through the check points.
Yea you should not be a “fan” of the media, they LIE constantly. Wanna address the pic they posted on twitter claiming the MKL bust was removed? That’s another pic they lied about, because it was still there, just Blocked someone in the room. But you believe them if you like.
