Why does the media assist the GOP lies when reporting on Crowd size?
I don't understand this phenomenon! :shrug:
Can someone help me out here? :tinfoilhat:


Not only that, but Obama's crowd sizes are always dismissed as not important,
and they are usually under-reported?
Why the double standard? And why is the Media doing this?

10. Excellent example.
The Presidential Race as a Springer Show.

It has to have an Ebb and Flow in order to keep it interesting.

14. They MUST keep the appearance of a "fairly even" game as a pretext
