    It's amazing how people will try to counteract pictures of a full crowd with pictures of a smaller crowd as proof that the crowd - at least at some point - didn't get bigger!

    It's like showing somebody a picture of man when he was a child, and insisting he's still a child. "See there? I have the photographic proof!"
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I'm not sure what bothers me more: his willful ignorance, or his blatant intellectual dishonesty.
            I think we can rule out intellectual dishonesty and stick with just plain old dishonesty

                Yeah, I guess thats why Chris Wallace of Fox news, who is certainly no liberally biased Journalist, who was in attendance, reported the same facts concerning crowd size as the rest of the media. You people are convinced that everything is a giant conspiracy and that journalists have no principles and lie to you about everything. Seriously, Chris Wallace was there, he is certainly not liberally biased, why on earth would he lie to you about what he personally witnessed.

                  OK, Jimmy, how do you account for the fact that photographs from the inauguration contradict the media narrative that it was a small crowd when in reality, it was far larger than inaugurations in the past except for Obama's record-breaking crowd in 2009? Go ahead, look at the pictures and see if you can explain it.

                    Can you please provide a cite of this account from Wallace?

                      what? LOL. Chris Wallace is liberal. what the heck are you talking about? He is a democrat.

                      Do you think everyone on Fox is a right-wing republican?

                        But Wallace is wrong and won't let Priebus explain what happened. He is acting like a typical liberal MSNBC reporter here. I have never cared much for Wallace. I think he is one of Fox's token democrats.

                          OK, thanks. Jimmy seems unwilling or incapable of backing up his claims with cites or proofs.

                            Priebus makes the sames points we have in this thread, that 1. The photo is misleading because it was taken before Trump was speaking. 2. That the crowd size isn't important, that the point is the dishonesty of the press who just wants to do anything to delegitimize Trump. But Wallace talks over him, and when he mentions that the photo is misleading, Wallace changes the subject saying "well the crowd size isn't important"

                            Ambush journalism and not allowing your guest to speak. Not very "fair and balanced" reporting here.

                              Yeah, I think Wallace, at times, tries too hard to show he's not "Fox News". He's fairer and balanceder.

                                For a democrat, he is pretty middle of the road (moderate) and he seems pretty fair most of the time, but he can really hit a liberal streak now and then and go overboard.
