Crowd numbers at both protests what did the MSM say?
About a few days ago I was worried that the MSM would overestimate the crowd at the Pro Bush ralley and underestimate it at the antiwar ralley.

What did each media outlet say?

3. PR firms 'supporters' don't hang around long at Crawford
A reporter from the Lone Star Iconoclast said the republican PR firm inspired "Bush supporters" numbered @2000-3000

(and that's in Bush Country???)

They had nice shiny 'support Bush' signs given to them to hold up for the *press and were fed hot dogs as a reward for showing up.

When the free food ran out they quickly dispersed.

Free lunch patriotism at it's finest.

5. report now says
1500 for pro-war and claims of 2000 for anti-war but that crowd "looks smaller". yeah. right. @ssh@les.

Why don't they just show the GD PICTURES - panoramic style so the public can see for itself???????????????????
