NewsBuster Won't Criticize Fellow NewsBusters for Touting Inflated Protest Numbers
Topic: NewsBusters

In a September 15 NewsBusters post, Jeff Poor complains that an MSNBC report on inflated attendance figures for the anti-Obama 9/12 protest "focused on an old photograph that had been circulating on some minor conservative blogs showing a huge crowd for the Sept. 12 march."

But as County Fair's Jamison Foser points out, the promotion of inflated protest attendance figures  was not limited to "minor conservative blogs" -- NewsBusters' very own Matthew Sheffield and Tom Blumer promoted them as well. Unsurprisingly, Poor is giving his fellow NewsBusters a pass.
