Moonbat Inflation
There are more than enough moonbats in this world without the leftist German press inflating their numbers.
The aggressively liberal Associated Press numbered the antiwar moonbats who descended on Washington over the weekend at "several thousand." But that's not what some Germans heard:
• ARD Tagesschau, SZ and SPIEGEL ONLINE - "4,000 to 6,000" anti-war demonstrators
• ZDF and Die Zeit - "About 10,000" anti-war demonstrators
• TAZ - "Tens-of-thousands" of anti-war demonstrators
• Die Welt - "50,000 anti-war demonstrators"
• Die Presse (Austrian media site) - "Around 100,000 Americans marched against the war..."
Yet for some reason no one saw fit to exaggerate the 1,000 or so counterprotesters organized by Gathering of Eagles.
As if there weren't already enough of them without the media inflating their numbers.

Regarding the folks that have been inflating the number of Moonbats,...
Are they going to be doing the exit-polling for the 2008 Presidential Election?
