Awesome.
I also hope that MSN reports that 6 billion people are there when only a few thousand people were there. Just like what Foxnews did. anyone else remember about a year or so ago when 100 trillion people marched Washington DC? It was reported by Glenn Beck.
I think it's cool, because I like both of them.
It goes both ways, that's why Beck went out of his way to make sure he had photographs from his rally last month from all angles this time around so that when ABC news comes out and says only 80,000 were there, like they did, you know not to take them seriously on any estimates in the future because it's not even in the ballpark.
Like I said, Beck paid for his own set of photos. He then got the estimates from the land authority( or whoever the hell is in charge of the National Mall) of how many people would fit in specific areas of the Mall, which were packed fully at his rally, and drew his conclusions from that. Johnny's Airplane Estimate service is clearly off, or else Obama only had about 200,000 show up to his inauguration in '09 by their estimates when comparing photos.
But, who cares, right? I mean, Beck is a phony douche, right?
Beck's only problem is that he doesn't go far enough.
Ummm...that went the other way dude. CBS hired a company that specializes in crowd estimation that took aerial photos.

After the Million Man March, the Park Police ceased making official crowd size estimates. Roger G. Kennedy, the Park Service director, said Congress had provided the "structure and canons" for counting people, but it had not demanded that the exercise actually be done. He contemplated informing Congress, "Thank you for telling us how to do it, but we won't be doing it."[24] In the 1997 appropriations bill for the Department of the Interior, Congress included language that prohibits the National Park Service from conducting crowd estimates in the District of Columbia. The legislation also states that if event organizers want crowd estimates, they should contract with an outside agency
Beck's only problem is that he doesn't go far enough.
the real question is whether it is possible to satirise Glenn Beck, a man who once spent half an hour on television explaining the hidden "communist" conspiracy behind the design of Rockefeller Plaza in New York.
I don't really watch any of the three honestly, but I've read one of Colbert's books, two of Beck's, and catch pieces of all three on Youtube from time to time and just have positive impressions of all them. I even found somebody I like on MSNBC recently, Dylan Ratigan.
Entertainment is entertainment, right?
Stewart and Colbert are hacks
This means it working.
haha, you are right.
I also love how Franklin, Marcus, and Mullethack have avoided this thread.
