Obama Rally Draws 100,000 in Missouri

I need a quick eye exam, cuz' this crowd of 100K looks way bigger than Lebanon's crowds of 1.5-2.5 millions ... in the WSJ, here via War&piece

  2. No, your eyesight is fine. Doha Shams wrote a great article on how the
    "million" number was manufactured on feb 14th - basically by "agreement"
    between organizers and correspondents of Reuters and AFP.
    All of the numbers we hear of Lebanon's protests are grossly incorrect: a
    million people in the streets at the same time would effectively fill
    every inch of empty space in municipal beirut.

  3. It's either that the Lebanese number of crowds is super exaggerated... Or that the Wall Street Journal is anti Obama.
