THE SANITY RALLY OUT DRAWS BECK 3-1 |
|
The crowd at Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" on the Mall in Washington. (Credit: AirPhotosLive.Com) An estimated 215,000 people attended a rally organized by Comedy Central talk show hosts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert Saturday in Washington, according to a crowd estimate commissioned by CBS News.
The company AirPhotosLive.com based the attendance at the "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" on aerial pictures it took over the rally, which took place on the Mall in Washington. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 10 percent. (See some of the pictures used to create the estimate here.)
CBS News also commissioned AirPhotosLive.com to do a crowd estimate of Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally in August. That rally was estimated to have attracted 87,000 people. Amid criticism from conservatives that the estimate was low, CBS News detailed the methodology behind it here.

Because he was basically blaming them for the dumbing down of America. You didn't really think they would go there, did you?

CBS News commissioned the same group to analyze the crowd size at the Stewart-Colbert rally it used to estimate the crowd at Glenn Beck's August rally. The CBS numbers: Beck drew 87,000 people to his rally, Stewart and Colbert drew 215,000. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/10/just-how-big-was-the-stewart-colbert-rally.php?ref=fpa

8. To admit their narrative just might be wrong is too much to expect. |

After all this is a center-right country. (sarcasm)
