Fox News just ran “tens of thousands” in Washington.

They’re getting their counts from the DNC, apparently.

“Police officials declined to release a crowd estimate, but the number of protesters along the route appeared to number well into the tens of thousands. “

No EVERYONE, including Fox, is getting their crowd count from the Associated Press.

Associated Press is what is the problem with modern US "Journalism" everyone takes the feed from AP wire and then simply regurgitates it as their "news".

Problem is most of the top people at AP have direct links with the Democrat National Committee. Thus what you get reported as "news" everywhere in the USA is a regurgitation of the thinking of people who run the Democrat National Committee.

Some smart Conservative should start up a counter to AP and get Fox should to dump AP so we finally get some real journalism in this country again.

Hey FOX, if there are only tens of thousands, why are they turning busloads of people away?

Freeper posted Rick Moran’s site. Says (about press reports)

By any stretch of the imagination, such a crowd should have been identified in “the hundreds of thousands.”

He also says: The DC Park Police stopped trying to estimate crowds years ago.

I keep wondering why journalists & producers just don’t make a couple phone calls. It can’t be that difficult for trained people in Washington to estimate a crowd.

I bet OBAMA knows how many people are there!!!!
