"The numbers went from 100 (which was reported a few times) to 60 to a "handful" (Fox News) to whatever they are now reporting, it might very well be 100 again"

Foxnews.com reports that "In a counterdemonstration, a few hundred people gathered on the mall to show their support of U.S. policies. Some carried signs that said 'Peace through superior fire power.' "

IMO, "several hundred people" would have been better wording than "a few hundred people" , but it's better than "a handful" or a hundred.

I watched Steve Centani (sp?) report live the number "handful." I was watching different coverages and the CSPAN coverage as I could stomach.

Mainly, my point was how the media plays fast and loose with the numbers to their (liberal) advantage.
