Remember the discussions of optics and trying to manufacture the perception of support for Hillary Clinton? Its all a pretense; a fraud; a corporate media ruse.
Well, a great example comes today from The Hill, an on-line media outlet promoting the speech of candidate Clinton. Notice anything, well, odd about the picture:
Its a 100% photoshopped image (link) assembling multiple rally crowd pictures to give the impression of Hillary Clinton in St. Petersburg.
Hillary is holding a rally at the St. Pete Colliseum in down town St. Petersburg. Located at 353 4th Ave North, the Coliseum venue holds approximately 4,000 people. Hillary Clinton didnt come close to filling it:
A couple of hundred people showed up [door count puts the number at 171] within a St. Petersburg venue capable of holding in excess of 4,000 without seating (link).
But the media,
well, in the land of make believe, they just cant help but manufacture the optics because the same media are selling an entirely different story with their polling:

18 minutes late
The large American flags in the photoshopped pic are hanging vertical.
The flags shown behind the stage in St Pete are horizontal.
They really think we are dumb.
I put more work into my post. It comes with the photos.
She could get more people in there with a bake sale...................
Exactly what I thought, and not just the flags - the two backgrounds have nothing in common
So why doesn’t Trump send a $10/hour intern with a smart phone to each Hillary public appearance and Tweet “raw” pics?
Reminiscent of religious paintings, it's pretty obvious and looks fake.
The background looks composited as well, like the Sgt. Pepper album.
I dont understand how someone who pulls in small crowds like this can be ahead in the polls over a guy who fills stadiums. I really hope all these crowds who are showing up at these Trump rallys don’t punk out on election day and stay home.
So what was the “attendance prize” today?
Disney tix, beer & pizza, or preloaded $50 debit cards?
Cigs and booze, the old standby...............
It’s called lying on a grand scale.
OK..well done

We’re getting deep into Orwellian territory at this point.
I don’t get it either. They don’t appear to be the same place.
Yes a diffenent venue. I beleive the point here is that the Hill.com used a false and photshopped image. A 171 door count to see poopy pants Hillary. That’s pathetic.
So while she speaks live on television, how do they get those large crowds in there?
With so few attending, no way in hell she is so far ahead in the polls. Oh wait in hell..yes, maybe she IS ahead.
