I did Kath. It's been posted at least twice in this thread, and you just skipped right over it without comment.

See below:

No - I cannot see any crowd between the media buildings and the monument. It's blocked.

Use below for reference. The pic on the left is CLEARLY taken at an earlier time then the pic on the right. However, you can see the crowd beyond the press buildings.... show me the real picture from this POV.

That's exactly the fake bullshit we are talking about, Kath. You posted that image right after you were presented with photos of the true size of the inauguration crowd, which was backed up to the Washington Monument.

This isn't about who had a bigger crowd. This is about the LIES and FAKE NEWS propagated by the MSM.

You cannot reconcile the MSM's fake news story with photos from the actual event.

Which is why I said:

I'm asking for a photo taken from that POV at the time of the oath.

Actually, if you read the OP, this thread is about the WH press secretary focusing on false facts.

I've condemned the picture that was taken earlier than presented. Done. Now, present me an actual pic taken from the same POV.

So we can expect the White House to acknowledge and correct its own lies?

Maybe now that Obama is gone. Although he did set a precedent for the White House being able to lie. He had the media helping him out though.

Metro ridership is definitely correlated. There are only a few ways to get there: by foot (not enough hotels within walking distance), cab or mass transit. Cars would be out for logistical reasons and there are only so many cabs, which can only get so close.

Correlation doesn't equal causation. Look at the size of the crowd in the pictures I just posted on the last page and tell me those metro sales are meaningful to Trump's crowd size with a straight face. Just because Trump didn't top Obama in 2009 doesn't mean his inauguration crowd wasn't YUGE, no matter how much the media tries to lie about it.

I don't dispute that Trump had a big crowd. He just didn't have the largest crowd ever, nor larger than Obama's, and his press secretary lied about it. Honestly, why lie and spend capital on something so trivial?

The corporate media is treating the rise of Trump far different than they did BHO. They were in love with BHO and are hostile to Trump. You wouldn't argue much with that would you ?

To me, Trump is calling the press on their failures where he can, because he's the type of guy to fight back. Just that simple. Secondary to that, Trump is reaching out to those folks who don't understand Journalistic Ethics have been shit.

I don't disagree with you. On the DCF, I blasted my disgust at the media all throughout Obama's term. Obama is gone. Now we discuss Trump. I'm willing to discuss Trump's issues.... and his current issue is crowd size.

I'm trying to tell you that the man has to pick his battles. And you guys do too. You know the numbers don't lie. I can't seem to find a photo from Obama's point of view while taking the oath. Can anyone find one?

The pics look off, but Trump's is time stamped 11:04 while Obama's is from 11:30. I'd like to see Trump's at 11:30, also. We should be comparing apples to apples and I agree that it's dishonest to show pics from different times of day.

OK, crowd size and Journalistic Ethics.

Did the Press perform an objective analysis of the crowd size at a given time be it 1104 hrs or 1130 hrs before they told the world Trumps crowd was smaller...................... NO, they just put out the story.

The corporate media are a bunch of hacks and now their pissed because they are getting called on it.

Because the media lied about the crowd size and said it was small. So the press secretary like a good little hack portrayed the opposite narrative and embellished to combat their lies. This isn't rocket surgery.
