One of big issues surrounding Donald Trump’s inauguration
was the number of people in attendance. News outlets and people on social media
compared Trump’s crowd to former president Barack Obama’s. White House press
secretary Sean Spicer even spoke about the comparison at a press meeting
claiming the media inaccurately reported on Trump’s inauguration crowd.
The three
media outlets I compared were CNN, CBS news and Forbes. Each outlet’s coverage
on this particular topic was the same because photos showed less people. CNN
posted an article with the title “White House press secretary attacks media for
accurately reporting inauguration crowds” Forbes posted an article titled
“Trumps inauguration garners 7 million fewer viewers than Obama’s,” and CBS
news titled their article “President Trump’s inauguration crowd was smaller
than Obama’s” and each article included the numbers of how many people were in
attendance.
Many people
took to twitter to express their opinions of the inauguration and many of them
were not in support of President Trump. Photographer Jordan Uhl tweeted about the
crowd size of trump and the crowd size of the women’s march, which had an
attendance of 2.5 million. Manager of
CNN Zach Wolf tweeted an image comparing the crowd size of the march and Donald
Trumps inauguration. Trump supporters
also took to twitter to defend him, sarcastically comparing his crowd size to
Hillary Clinton’s.
