Wow this is a huge differnce from the overview one that even Fox was showing. As much as the administration needs to take the high road this is bullshite.

Are you people pretending that all those white empty gaps weren't visible on the live coverage? We all saw it

Hilariously, they are not pretending . They are just offering an alternative truth

All of the pictures that Trump is showing are from the podium down low where all of the gaps would be covered. I'm all for Trump being right on this. I hope he had 2 million people there. Let everyone show up. What difference does it make?

But, can we see an ariel view at noon from Trump? Does the government have those pictures? That is the key picture. Why won't they release that?

Trump is the government now. All that we're getting from him is pictures from the podium down low, which makes it easy to look like it is full. Use your eyes.

I get that pictures taken at 11:15am should not be compared to 12noon. I get that the media lies. But, if Trump wants to make such a huge deal out of this, then let's see an overhead shot from him.

Really, I don't care. Forget it. This is all too stupid. Just stupid from both sides.

I agree its stupid but there was an obvious attempt at deception from the progressive media that somehow it was poorly attended, even progressives on this board when deception is proven to them " i see a white spot!"

This is the NYT image being forwarded as Trump's peak crowd:



For those posters saying "it's no big deal" "Trump needs to admit the NYT, CNN, etc. have it right", THE MEDIA LIED!

This is reality:



I was wondering when I was channel surfing why CNN, MSNBC kept showing that shot over and over. They were panning early on and took the pic; before it got packed.

May have been said already as I didnt read every post but, I wonder what the deflection of focus was for?

Meaning, while I get calling out media slights, this slight had a full on briefing about it. Keeping the attention on this must be on purpose.

The WH Press briefing gave numbers and the media shite the bed. They all went on and said the numbers were a lie. HEADLINES count and to this moment the average Joe probably thinks that the one pic the media kept showing with white spots was real.

I am all for the WH Press briefing now. They made the media crap themselves.

We should not have a media that is the arm of a political party. The media showed a pic before everyone got there, as if it was all who showed. They lie to diminish Trump and it is flatout WRONG.

DO you not see the open white spaces on the second pic? Or are you just ignoring them?

Here's the view from the West Front of the Capitol, looking out towards the Washington Monument for Obama's Inaugural in 2009:



Here's a similar view for Trump's on Friday:



A wider angle photo shows the true size of the massive crowd that came out for Obama in 2009:



But that very same angle seems to show a pretty similar crowd for Trump:

Here is the pics I personally saw CNN and MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC show deceptively-- a shot before everyone arrived for Trump.

Sure do. Are you really sticking with that NYT pic though? I'm willing to assume O had more people, but that NYT pic is pretty obviously not at peak crowd.

Who had the bigger crowd isn't even news anyway, yet they reported it like it was Sandyhook. Wonder why.
