As of yesterday, the ridership statistics for the DC Metro on 10-30 were not available... when they become available, compare them with the stats from 8-28.
They were UP >250k from the previous year at Beck’s rally.
I understand CBS’s agenda... but, I don’t get why a private company would purposefully misrepresent crowd figures... I guess, it gurantees they’ll keep getting business from CBS. But, they’ll end up with ZERO credibility.
You can always buy a whore to say what you want to have said.
Regarding the Metro stats, I parked at the Vienna station for the Beck event and they opened the gates let everyone in without getting passes because the line wrapped arount the parking lot and was interfering with traffic.
Do you really think a company like the one CBS hires makes its living by estimating DC crowds once every two or three years?
