MSRNC reporting NOW 80,000 in Philly yesterday - huh???

[Clinton Crusader]

There were over 100,000 people there - reported far and wide. But MSRNC has now decided it was only 80,000. And had to throw in, JK never had a crowd this big till WJC showed up. :eyes:

GOD, I hate this station!

1. Well, there was a variety of estimates

Generally in the 80K-100K range.

I think saying it was about 80K is acceptable.
Saying it was "hundreds" NOT.

3. it matters not. they could have ignored it completely, so

actually this is good coverage!

2. so they admit Clinton gets huge crowds and then ask

"will clinton help or hurt"?. fucking whores.

4. the only time to turn on MSRNC is

at 8pm Eastern, when Keith Olberman is on. Otherwise, go knit or something.

5. NYTimes is using the 80,000 number too

I am sick of arguing these things. Unless someone gets an arial view and hand counts it's not worth arguing.

6. I was there. A police captain I talked to thought 120,000 was about right

Then I came home and heard Peter Jennings say UP TO 30,000. No way could you mistake that crowd for 30,000. I got to the parkway a half hour before the gates opened--maybe that's where the underestimating Mr. Jennings got his number.

It was a great day!

7. Forget It...The Only "Rally" that matters is on Nov. 2nd. Let's Move On...
