More media hysteria.

If the Inaugaration was in May, there would not be 4 million people attending.

The media threw a WAG number out there, knowing the media echo chamber would just repeat it ad nauseum. After all, the first rule of propaganda is, if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.

The four million number was a joke the moment it hit the press, and it was funny to see the other side hyperventilate about how much this means the Messiah is so loved and so popular that he will be adored by four million raging subjects.

The media should just restructure as the new Ministry of Propaganda.

The truth will be in short supply for the forseeable future.

The hyperventilating media, after the 4 million plus projection, even went so far as to locate various government-teat-sucking organizations which expressed deep concerns that grocery stores would not have stocked enough food to deal with the millions which would be staying in private residences.

None of them thought to check the population of DC proper to consider how absurd that notion was.

Compare 'their' estimate of the inaugural crowd with the real numbers of the annual Right to Life march, held every January!

No matter how many thousands attend the pro-life event, the media lowballs it & are stingy with pictures.

Every single year.

Significant that the most abortion minded President's inaugural we've ever had will be followed 2 days later by the recognition of 36 years of abortion.

Maybe....just maybe....because we have allowed 36 years of abortion resulting in 50 million unborn babies dying... we have a Barack Hussein Obama who hasn't met an abortion he doesn't approve of.

IMO, 50% of Obama supporters never heard of an inaugaration and don’t care. They just care about the checks Obama is going to send them.
