How many gathered on the Washington Mall for the One Nation rally?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) October 3rd, 2010

Right after each Tea Party and Glenn Beck event, Fox “News” and their ilk broadcasted phantasmagoric crowd size estimates that doubled with each repetition. While satellite images put Beck’s crowd at 87,000—certainly a respectable number—Beck himself boasted that it was 1,600,000. He was certainly not going to be outdone (at least not in his own mind) by the likes of the Million Man March.

How different the liberal crowd. No propaganda releases about crowd size. They are actually waiting for the official estimates from satellite photos, and will just accept the truth rather than crank up their own counterpart to the vast right-wing noise machine to pump out ever inflating totals for propaganda purposes. I guess that’s why you can’t trust the liberal media. The reality based universe is so boring.

So in the absence of any wild claims, compare these slide shows of Beck’s DC Tea Party rally and the One Nation event. Here’s a whimsical article that highlights the dramatic difference in crowd size coverage. What’s your guess of the crowd size at the One Nation Rally.
