As I’ve said on this thread, you are welcome to count the actual numbers of people in the crowd. The data is there. I can’t force you to use it.

Airphotoslive is not a part of CBS. As far as trying to “please” anyone, I note that when they provided the crowd estimate of Obama’s inauguration for CNN, they came in at 800,000 which of course was less than the one million claimed by more partisan sources.

With respect to your claims that their estimates are over/under anyone else’s, please provide links to actual, formal crowd estimates provided by reputable news organizations, that are based on scientific methodolgy.

As to your claim that the photos show the crowd taking up the same amount of space as that shown in Charlie Martin’s graphic, I’m sorry but that is demonstrably false. No one can force you to look at information with unbiased eyes, but it can certainly be pointed out where you’re wrong.
