    So now even Fox News is being claimed to be in on this giant media conspiracy (spanning all the various media channels) to deliberately misreport (with photographic and video evidence and hard numbers like number of bus and subway tickets bought) the size of Trump's inauguration crowds. Wow.

      Chris Wallace is not Fox News, Star.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        The number of people watching the inauguration live got brought up today at a news briefing held by Trump's Press Secretary Sean Spicer and when he brought up the number of viewers who streamed it the reporter who asked the question stammered that he didn't want to get into a "numbers game." The whole point of his bringing it up was a numbers game.

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.
          IIRC he was repeating what other news outlets were "reporting"

          In any case this should kill any claim that Fox News is in the tank for Trump.

            Are you incapable of looking at the pictures provided? I would assume you were blind if you were unable to respond to the posts. Anyway, if you're not providing any useful input then perhaps you should just stop.

              As I said in a previous post, having looked carefully at the pictures it is clear Trump and his supporters are lying and that all the media outlets are correct, unsurprisingly.

                  I should note that both Jaecp and Shunyadragon were put on my ignore for their complete and utter willful ignorance. I'm not interested in talking to people who are this much in denial that they are not willing to admit to a simple point that doesn't even affect their worldview in the slightest. Mostly because it shows the unreasonableness of the person when they are doing it. Your willful denial and ignorance is a bad reflection on you and it also reflects badly even with those on your side of the spectrum. Some here on TWeb may agree with you but other liberals are ashamed of you. Youtubers like Sargon of Akkad, who a liberal, is sick of people like you because he has to call you out for such things. I suggest that perhaps you watch some of his videos to see how a proper liberal should behave or to at least get a better idea.

                  Anyway, congratulations and welcome to my ignore list. There is no point in discussing things with you because you live in a bubble where only those who agree with you can have an input.

                            Once again, it is essentially the same photo taken from a different angle, as can be seen by close inspection of the numbers of people in different sections of the crowd.

                              repeating it doesnt make it true. it is obvious in those photos and in CNN's panorama that there are a lot more people near the washington monument than in the liberal photo before the speech.

                                Chris Wallace is no liberal, for one thing they don't have what you would call a liberal on Fox News. Wallace is no O'Reilly, or Hannity, but he is certainly not a liberal. He says the reason he is registered as a democrat is for practical purposes. He lives an overwhelmingly democratic district in Wa. D.C. where the primaries are not open so in order for his vote to have any effect in local races he registered as a democrat in order to vote in the democratic primary. That makes sense. But if you new anything at all about him or watched any of his interviews you would know that he is far from being liberal, and in no way is he partisan. He's gone at both sides with the same zeal, including at Clinton on the e-mail issue.


                                In the link below, at about 3 min's and 31 sec's in, Wallace says, I was there. In other words he witnessed the crowd size himself.
