Saturday Night Damned-if-you-do Blogging

In a post titled "2,000,000 March on Washington (?)", congratulating the swarms of teabaggers who descended upon DC for 9/12, Red State blogger Erick Erickson adds this caveat:

*I’ve been talking all night to people who are there and involved. The 2 million number was generated by the media, but truly seems to be a gross inflation of what is there. I’m told that at best it was 500,000, but most realistically in the 200,000 person range. Still pretty damn impressive.

Damn Liberal Media!

The first comment on the post:

I just checked A.P. and a story by Nafeesa Sayeed uses the phrase “tens of thousands.”

As many predicted, if thousands showed up, it would be a few hundred.

Millions become thousands for the MSM.

Damn Liberal Me- wait, what?
