SarahFanUK has it pegged. He tells me:

“the tear wiping moment is at exactly 3.06.34 in the CSPAN video.”

How comical, hey? Just like the stupid media propagandists themselves.

How difficult would it have been to say hundreds of thousands?

Very. The truth is not in them.

That’s just BBC News, not the entertainment division.

I would say at the least 350,000, most 650,000.

Look at all the grass in this photo. Has it photoshopped?

Isn’t the grass where the reflecting pool is supposed to be? WTH, CBS?

Unless I am going blind, I’d say yes, of course it’s photo shopped.

Better grab that photo while you have a chance. What are they trying to say...that the reflecting pool is that little round “pond?” and that Glenn is using THAT little pond for tallying attendees?

What a bunch of loser-butts. (CBS, of course)

Duh, went looking again. It’s the angle at which the photo was taken. You can still see a slight reflection. It looks like the bottom and sides of the pool are green.

Delusional. The entire BBC is politically correct. It was sh*t when Thatcher was PM. Her husband Dennis said something about it being a commie TV network/channel.

Nonsense. I listen to BBC Radio 2 quite often. The news services are commie, but not the regular radio services.

If that’s the reflecting pool the parks dept needs to be fired. It need chlorine, lots of it.

I was there today. It took us 3 hours of waiting in line just to get on the metro......by the time we made it to the mall, there were throngs of people heading away. And just as many if not more heading towards the mall. One of the metro cops, who was trying to do a little crowd control, told us “they” [not sure who “they” are?] said to expect about 75,000 people. This cop said they were WAY OFF base with that number.

On the metro, we ran into a local...who was kind enough to give us his advice on an easier route to the mall......he also told us he has never seen a crowd this large before!

Let the idiots keep under guessing how many people were there. I was there. I saw it with my own eyes. Amazing, absolutely amazing. I am beginning to get some hope that we CAN reclaim our country!

As to the time of the photos, check the shadows—particularly of the Washington Monument.
