The real question is, what was the motive for posting a crowd size comparison?

Someone at CNN and MSNBC should be brought forward and asked "why did you show a comparison of crowd size in 09 with 2017? You obviously felt the message of Obama's crowd was bigger for a reason, what was the reason? How was it beneficial?

Yeah it's all petty, but someone in the media needs to be held accountable.

"Please state your reason for posting a comparison?"

At the heart of it, it's 100% a fact the media is casually bringing this front stage to tweak the new president.

Now, after giving it some thought, it ticks me off. At first I was disappointed at Trump for hanging on to it, but dang if these guys don't have an agenda...

Remember when the media kept showing Trayvon Martin as a 9 year old little boy?

You think that was intentional? I most certainly do...I used to yell at the TV, "why do you show the 17 year old pic of this young man>" You think his facebook page being taken down was an accident? You don't think they wanted us to know the real Trayvon? Why didn't they want us to know the real Trayvon?

I am ready to fight the machine that stands there with a smirk every night.."gotcha"...all by design to divide us...

So you are admitting that the media is biased and a democratic mouth piece?

I'm surprised you would finally admit this

So you acknowledge that the media is engaged in a deliberate program to antagonize and create delegitimizing narratives about the president. Thanks for making OP's point.

Sure. Our leaders should be challenged by the media. That's kinda their job.

We previously called this a "hostile narrative" or a "liberal narrative". Now we just call it "Fake News". It is the way the media chooses to frame the news in a way that creates the impression that serves The Narrative. Thus, from that historic Inauguration, we got "Nobody cared. Trump is divisive. Look at all the peaceful Protesters in the Streets. Doing The Right thing. Unlike Trump. Who is a racist sexist homophobe" that nobody cares about Unlike Our Obama who drew a bigger crowd.

Fake news.

They've likewise given perspective on crowd size the last couple elections

I'm sure most enjoyed the message it sent but stuff like the crowd photos, transit stats etc... aren't new to this year

It will always be the narrative...

"Didn't win the popular vote"

"Small crowd inauguration size"

"Support was small for X,Y,Z legislation among polled voters."

It's the continued desperate attempt by the liberal media to convince the American public that the media's message is still the majority belief and everything that is happening now is subverting the American people and contrary to what the public wants.

Small support, small crowds, small hands, small approval ratings (CNN had a fricking approval rating of Trump and he's been fricking office for 1 day!) - Lowest since George W.

"Trump needs to lean on Obama's ear to counsel him...to heal this country and bring us together...this is why Obama has said he'll be there for the country...Trump needs to reach across and bring Obama back into the fold...to really unify and show that he's not going to do it alone but he'll do it with Democrats and Obama and the American people will feel re-assured."

- Basically CNN, ABC, CBS during the inauguration...you heard it all.

Here is the deal, I agree, but if you listen to Trump's peeps, this is just the beginning. "We're not backing down on this"

the crowd size is not the issue at hand, it's the media's underhanded motives and agenda to de-legitimize the new president...

respectfully,...try to keep up!

Then do it with a real issue, not one that just comes across as measuring dicks.
