      Anyone saying 'the crowd count is in' is, well, probably making shit up. Why you won't have a solid count: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/01/18/us/politics/How-Crowds-at-the-Capitol-Have-Been-Counted.html …

      Clouds mean there won't be clear satellite imagery of the mall, and so an inexact science is even more vague today https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/01/20/us/politics/trump-inauguration-crowd.html …

      So when you see people suggesting hard numbers for the inaugural crowd, a) don't retweet them, c'mon! And b) ask where they got that info

      A little blue check mark by someone's name doesn't make them an expert on, well, anything, including crowd counting.

      Anyone purporting to offer you a solid number for how many people were in the Inaugural crowd today probably also has some snake oil to sell

      Then you have 1000+ people retweeting this. Again, there *are no official estimates* of Mall events. wouldn't be from the guard anyway.pic.twitter.com/cgDFnFWfvd

      ^^ 6500 retweets on that now, btw. it was a big protest, yes, but not the biggest in history, and the Guard didn't 'confirm' anything.

      anyway, left and right, everyone falls for fake news at some point.

      (this one is bugging me in its wrongness because she works for a respected org and likely KNOWS the tweet is wrong, but has left it up.)
