How Many People?
So there was a rally yesterday in Washington. The best part of the rally is how the media described the turnout.
- The New York Times headline: "Thousands rally with or against Obama" -- there is not estimate of how many were in Washington, but the article does state that there were 15,000 people at Obama's speech.
- Washington Post: "Tens of Thousands Protest Obama Initiatives and Government Spending"
- Daily Mail: "Up to two million people marched to the U.S. capitol today..."
How many thousands are in a million?
