Spicer was talking world wide numbers, also EW, a liberal mag even posted that Neilsen doesn’t count streaming and that means Trump was most likely the most watched ever. Nobody is comparing the crowd to Obama in 2008 the only reason Spicer mentioned crowd size was due to the LIE that the mall was empty during the inauguration when in fact that pic the media circulated was taken an hour before the swearing in and then tweeted out 40 min before the swearing in when people were still filtering into the mall grounds.
By the time the swearing in was taking place the area was mostly all filled. It’s a lie that needed to be addressed because the lying media yet again tried to make it seem as if Trump is not popular because he’s illegitimate. That )(@$ has to be fought against. The media floated out the number of 250K attended all based on that early pic. Outright lies.
Well said. The Media has been doing this for years and it’s about time they are called on it every single time.
My points were that Neilson posted what broadcast tv numbers were during Obolas and Trumps inaugurations.
I made the point that streaming was not taken into account
and those numbers, if could be calculated would show that Trump was viewed similarly to Obala 1, when all media forms are added.
People also posted that lots of people were blocked by protestors from getting in. Wasn’t there so I personally do not know, but I do wonder how many were kept from getting in. Would be good to see photo evidence of how many were outside that couldn’t get in.
