If CNN reports 100K Iraqis protesting...
Edited on Mon Jan-19-04 11:06 AM by displacedtexan
Don't you think there must be more than 250K, at the very least? I notice that the pics only last a few seconds. Even now, as the reporter speaks, there are no pics of crowds.

Does anyone believe CNN anymore? I don't.

1. Wow, they're reporting that? After all the protests I've been to,
there's a clear algorithm:

Reported crowd size=Actual crowd size/10

2. there is no way
to know because they CNN and other media such as the New York Times ect. lie about the numbers protesting in our own Country. I agree with you there is no way we can trust them.
How about the blogger Salam Pax in Iraq maybe he will report more honestly on the protests?
