Debunking Crowd Estimate Lies

On Saturday, March 21st 2009, thousands of people gathered in DC to march on the Pentagon for peace. However, some people in the media felt the need to blatantly lie about the size of the crowd, claiming it was as low as a "few hundred."

Using footage, captured from a bridge as the march went by underneath, we estimated the size of the crowd. The footage, which was not of the entire crowd, clearly showed that these reports were severely low in their estimates. The process for estimating crowd size is an incredibly easy one. It is, literally, middle school difficulty math.

The fact that these news organizations neglected to take the small amount of time necessary to produce an accurate estimate is not surprising. What is surprising, is that these organizations reported a crowd estimate knowing full well that they had no idea what the real number was.

Here at Left Chattering, we estimated the size to be, at a minimum, 3,250 people.

I was there! There was clearly more than a couple hundred, and a few thousand there people who demonstrated! The media kills me will their lies! There were so many of us that the police forces tried to stop and block many of the protestors from marching!

.....The things that the media and others will do to try to hide America's wrongs, faults, and blemishes is sickening!
