Now I use Christian Science Monitor as a "source" because I believe much of what they say. For instance:
Unemployment benefits: not until Bush tax cuts pass, Senate GOP says - CSMonitor.com
See? I know that's true. Because it's recent history.
This from Breitbart:
The original March on Washington was attended by anywhere from 250,000 to 1 million people. The "I Have a Dream" speech was attended by an estimated 200,000 Americans. By way of contrast, according to the Christian Science Monitor, somewhere between 78,000 and 96,000 attended Glenn Beck's 2010 rally on the Mall in Washington.

The Christian Science Monitor does't count crowds.

An estimated 100,000 people gathered on the Mall for the day's events, compared to estimates of more than 200,000 marchers 50 years ago.

What I do wonder is how many of these marches were going on across the US? I'm sure there weren't many by white Republicans in the confederate south, but I suspect the number across the rest of the US is surprising.
