They report 60,000 to 70,000 here:

Do you honestly expect the liberal media to accurately report on an event such as this?

“approximately 60,000 to 70,000 people flooded Pennsylvania Ave, according to the Washington DC Fire Department.”

[Round 9]

I’m not sure it matters if it was only 60,000 because traditionally conservatives don’t protest and engage in these sorts of public actions. Liberals, on the other hand are always looking for any reason to protest and get a free bus ride. Students and the career unemployed generally have lots of time on their hands.

For these average folks to do this is a sure sign that the discontent is genuine and widespread.
