Great shot! But the tens of thousands (under the pic) seems more than the understatement of the year.

Funny, CSPAN never showed such a view. All they did was a repeated shot down the reflecting pool and assorted closeups of audience members.

[manc]

tens of thousands, er no hundreds of thousands BBC, .

typical of the biased press that they still distort number and lie and then they still wonder why many now are laughing at them and not respecting them

[skimbell]

CNN and MSNBC will have that crowd pegged at hundreds of supporters.

[Red_Devil 232]

Yes!

There were other shots with snarky captions - inaccurate and racist.

Shame on the BBC.

[stumptalker]

Nice picture, and even this doesn’t show the whole crowd.

[VanDeKoik]

Oh please tell me they did not embarrass themselves by pulling such an obvious con.

"Thanks for that report. Our MSNBC sources now estimate that dozens of supporters have come to Glenn Beck's . . . "

[freekitty]

Yep, and think of all the people that watched.

.......and they and their families all vote.......

CNN and MSNBC will have that crowd pegged at hundreds of supporters.

Even that would be a step in the right direction. I would expect those outlets to describe the attendees as crazed, right-wing, hateful, extremist, puppy kickers.

The BBC’s philosophy is all white people are evil except BBC presenters/news readers. All darker skinned people are noble especially Muslims.

... and pray.

What is the official estimation of the crowd? Beck said, yesterday, that the prediction was 500,000. Is that about right?

[Liz]

The massive crowds are VERY significant.

The LSM measures crowds by the size of civil rights protests (B/W pic)
which LSM points out extended AROUND the Reflecting Pool.
