WaPo vs. WaTimes On Demonstration

In paragraph eight, the WashPost finally got around to saying their were counter-demonstrations in DC, numbering the protest-protesters at "more than 200."

The WashTimes mentioned the counter-demonstrators in paragraph four, counting them as "hundreds."

WaPo gave the counter-demonstrators one paragraph, while WashTimes gave them five.

WashTimes quoted the police chief to get a count of 100,000 demonstrators, while WaPo went to the same source and got a count 50 percnet higher.

Same demonstration, two perspectives.
