WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – The Fox News Channel reported today that the turnout for Jon Stewart’s “Rally to Restore Sanity” was underwhelming at best, with Fox sources estimating the total turnout at seven people. “Our total count includes Stewart, [Stephen] Colbert, and what appear to be a few of their friends and relatives,” said Fox anchor Shepard Smith. “This has to be a smaller crowd than they were expecting.” But immediately after Fox broadcast what it described as “live coverage” of the rally showing a nearly- deserted National Mall, viewers began to point out irregularities in the images being shown. First of all, one viewer noticed that the live coverage of the rally was actually being broadcast a full twelve hours before the rally began. Second, an expert identified the supposedly “live footage” of today’s rally as file footage from a Sunday in 1997 when the Mall was completely shut down for reseeding. Even in the face of such evidence, Fox stood by its story, with Fox host Glenn Beck pointing out that the seven people in attendance were “largely elitists.” “I was struck by how many correctly spelled signs there were,” Mr. Beck said. “That’s not my America.”

Actual estimates are over 150k (which if this were a Beck rally, would equal 1.5 million according to Fox). For comparison, Beck drew about 90K to his rally earlier this year (give or take 5 million per Fox news)
What is really sad is the fact you think the Borowitz Report is serious!
It was a joke people,a joke. Most likely in response to Stewart's crowd estimate of "10 million people",which was also a joke. One of the fruits from Myth Busters was there,and estimated the crowd at 250,000. Somebody else estimated 10,000. Most likely the real number was somewhere in between the two.

This place has become as clueless as LP.
That liberals get their news from comedians and cartoons is not surprising.

Come on now. What do you think Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnell, and Sharron Angle are?
If you feel they are comedians your perceptions are wrong,again. If they were comedians you'd support them.

You really can't be that dumb.

Well, you may be right, Mrs. Badeye. Comedian is too strong a term. They're jokes, not comedians.
You flipped from using your typical racist terms to attack and are now trying out your homophobic ones. Skippy is now shown to be : -Racist Other than hate , you don't have a political philosophy.

Now you've got me confused with yukon.

Whitey certainly has a zero track mind.
