Being up close to the President, reporting on events which will enter the history books is the pinnacle of their career.
But for the foreseeable future, the job will be a poisoned chalice, because even if you accurately report events, the President will call you dishonest.

the picture used in that report showing crowds is obviously fake news as the trump picture was taken hours before the actual inauguration. Which is why it appears to show thin crowds.
That is what is meant by fake news.



I watched it on TV and that picture bore no comparison with the crowds at the actual event time.

now whether there was more or less than other events is debatable as there are no actual figures available or released by the parks department.
