Factcheck.org has posted a summary of the crowd size estimates from the teabagger march in D.C. on the 12th. The site basically concludes that the city fire department estimate is probably the best to go with: 60,000 to 70,000, or maybe 75,000, "depending on the news organization reporting."
The 75,000 figure appears to have come from the Wall Street Journal. Other AP sources stick with the lower figure, and even Fox News conservatively reports "tens of thousands."
Has Michelle Malkin posted a retraction or even a mea culpa for her bizarre lie that ABC News reported 2 million protestors? She appears to have merely edited her blog entry to erase her responsibility in having started the false rumor.
