What are you talking about?

Easiest is just behind the reflecting pool on the right side. There are "squares" for occupation. That first one you see a full area up to the fence, a barrier with little behind it. The left side is full.

the Square behind the first on the right is full. The one behind it is not.

Then another full and another not so full.

at the back, in front tents and stands - not many people.

As I said, I'd like to see a shot from the same angle as the published photo, taken roughly at the same time as this one.

Also, I know that people we STILL arriving at this point.

That photo - showing the gaps and white tarps on the ground - was shown with a 8:37 AM time tick!

Not doubting, but do you have an original source? All that I have seen say it was taken ~11:50.

Um, people are not supposed to stand in those areas. They are cordoned off for access to the porta-potties.

Can we change the subject finally. Trump WON regardless of crowd size at the inaug.

We can change the subject now that the point has been dramatically driven home. The thing is that CNN and other media outlets wanted to drive a narrative, and posted fake news. It wasn't a mistake. It wasn't an error. The put photos of a couple of hours before Trump's inauguration next to a photo during Obama's inauguration to make the crowd size for Trump seem small. Why? To damage Trump. When they got called on it, they said "Well, the crowd size doesn't matter. Let's quit talking about it." The story isn't crowd size, the story is the press lied.

Did he play any role in the soundtrack of the original Star Trek? I sort of hear the music used on Star Trek for a fight or a scary tense scene, in some aspects of the Wide World Of Sports intro.

The fight music from Amok Time was written by Gerald Fried, who also wrote music for The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Roots.

It would appear that Charles Fox had no connection to Star Trek TOS, or any other incarnation of ST.

Mr. Fox did write theme music for Love, American Style (which was performed by The Cowsills for the show), as well as theme music for Monday Night Football.

He shared a Grammy award in 1973 for Killing Me Softly with His Song; the other winner was Norman Gimbel, who penned the lyrics for that song.

Both Fox and Fried attended NYC's High School of Music and Art, but not at the same time (Fried, at 90, is twelve years older than Fox, and both are still with us).

Gerald Fried had a somewhat more academically-oriented education, having attended Juilliard. Charles Fox got his education privately in Europe and in New York City. Mr. Fox studied with Nadia Boulanger in Paris; Ms. Boulanger educated and mentored an amazing number of very famous composers, also including (among others) Aaron Copeland and Quincy Jones.

It’s relevant because the MSM has once again been caught in another bodacious lie.

They put out a photo purporting to show Trump’s crowd much smaller than Obama’s.

One of those fact-check guys in Reddit was able to zoom in on a clocktower in the photo and determine the picture was taken at 1:15 PM....about an hour after the ceremony was over.

They are cordoned off for access to the porta-potties.

First Square on the left is "full". Off to the far left, you can see the porta-potties. Off to the far right, you can see the same (through the trees).

Second Square on the left is also "full" .- off to the far left you can just make out out porta-potties.

The rest of the far right is obscured.

Closer to the back on the left, still full, porta-potties now adjacent to the square.

The aerial photo shows the same. On the "right" the porta-poties are along the road. There would be no need to cordon off the squares for access as there were alleys for people to walk AND they would have need the same on the left.

Again, there is no doubt that the gigapixel image shows vastly more people in attendance. But that is something "easily" explained away be the media. We need another photo from the same angle as the published one for a true comparison.

As others have said, it the end, it doesn't really matter. President Trump may have tooted his horn a bit too loudly and the media called him on it. Instead of stating some facts - his team weaseled a bit. "A lot of people were sad that, due to the protests they could not get to the mall in time - but, many decided to stay home and view it via TV or Internet - our ratings were through the roof!" Would have been much better then Alternate Facts.

So, take it. Get back up, brush off - and get back to doing what is important.

They only people who REALLY care about the attendance are the same ones that care about President Trumps tax returns - the media.

The subject that the Network media people are blatant and deliberate liars should not be changed, it should be hammered over and over again, every day and in every way until the Liberal Monopoly on Media is destroyed.

If this picture proves that ABC News and Others deliberately *LIED* when they showed those pictures of the empty spaces at the Inauguration, then it needs to be pointed out over and over again that the people of ABC News are liars and deceitful.

We should not let this go, we should keep hammering the fact that the media lied.

... was able to zoom in on a clock tower in the photo...

The gigapixel photo? The one tower I see on the right shows ~12:20 - on the left is another (red) tower with a clock, but it is hard to read. It would appear to also read 12:20

There are three areas that aren’t quite as crowded as the rest. (Right hand side of the monument further back) But looking closer they are cordoned off but there are some people milling about in them. Were people assigned areas through the security checkpoints?

And there are two clock towers both showing 12:20

I agree. This is simply not important. Let's move on to discussion of actual issues.

The absolute, bar none, most important issue upon which the nation needs to be focused is the *THREAT* to our lives and freedoms represented by the lying and deceitful Liberal propaganda system known as mainstream "news" and "entertainment."

Barack Obama was president for one reason and one reason only. He was President because the Liberal Propaganda system controlled the information flowing out to the American People, and deliberately misled them into electing that corrupt and foolish bastard.

The "media" elected Bill Clinton using the same tactic of suppressing ugly information about him, and creating false information about his opponent.

Liberal control of the media is the greatest threat we face. They are more dangerous to us than ISIS or Al Quaeda, or any other external threat. They are rotting us from within, and using their control of information to create governmental policy contrary to the best interests of the nation and the people.

The Liberal Media is our primary enemy, and our focus should be on destroying their ability to manipulate elections or governmental policy. This *IS* the most important issue that we should address.

Showing them to be liars is well worth the time and effort it requires.
