Projections And Perceptions

| 2 Comments

Sarah Mills, 650 CKOM radio news announcer, earlier today [paraphrasing]:

"Organizers say up to 750 thousand are expected to march in Washington in support of abortion rights today!"

Just now, and with the same breathless emphasis:
"Tens of thousands rallied in Washington in support of abortion rights today!"

From CANOE:

"The rally on the National Mall stretched from the base of the U.S. Capitol about a mile back to the Washington Monument. Authorities no longer give formal crowd estimates, but various police sources informally estimated the throng at between 500,000 and 800,000 strong."
