Inaguration crowd size

[Mountain Man]

I notice you never stepped up to the challenge of explaining the discrepancies between the various photos that were posted throughout this thread.

The fact remains, the mainstream media blatantly lied about the size of Trump's inaugural crowd.

The liar, as has so often been the case, is Trump.

Haven't thought about this thread for a while. Are the photos and evidence along the same lines as your YEC 'evidence' from the climate change thread?

[Darth Ovious]

Oh well. I guess it's time to post this again.

Yup, as helpfully posted by D.O., the crazies show the photos of the same thing from different angles, and bizarrely claim the photos show different numbers of people and that they were taken at different times. This, despite the fact that we have video footage of the crowd throughout the inauguration from the time of them beginning to arrive to the time of them leaving, which shows the media's photos of the crowd were indeed taken at the time of maximum crowd size, and that conspiracy nutters are crazy.

False. We already debunked the time lapse video which was obviously edited to never show the crowd at its peak, and the differing angles don't explain how one photo shows the Mall half empty while another shows it packed almost all the way to the back. The obvious explanation is that the overhead photo of the half empty Mall was taken over an hour before the ceremony -- we have proof from Twitter stamps -- meaning it wasn't at its peak.

But I'm just repeating what has already been said, and your delusional rationalisations don't cut it. Anybody who cares to read the thread from the beginning can see that for themselves.

Don't you get sick of being yourself?

That was weak, even for you.

It goes with the territory. Their whole belief system is based upon the adjusting and rationalisation of facts to fit their preferred ideology. In the trade its known as 'wish fulfilment'. Sad!

Of course they do. The second shot is taken from such a low angle that any empty spaces would be largely obscured by the people standing in front of them. You might s well take a picture of a wallfence which has a dog behind it and deny the dog is there because you can't see it through the wall.

Ridiculous. Even with the low angle, you can clearly see there is a significant discrepancy between photos taken during the ceremony when the Mall was almost full versus the overhead shot posted to Twitter over an hour before the ceremony began. Sorry, but a low angle doesn't turn an empty space into a full space.

Here's what journalist Brit Hume had to say about the overhead shot:

"I was in the building at the bottom of picture on right yesterday. Shot was taken early, area was considerably fuller by time of speech."

CNN pretty much debunked themselves with it.

But didn't you know? Taking a picture from a low angle can magically turn an empty space into a full space!

Oh give it a rest. No-one believe this Trump lie except for Trump and his clones. Even Sean Spicer acknowledges that he was lying about it. Why is Trump so obsessed with size anyway?
