CNN just said "Paul lied about 5,000 supporters, said more like 2000"

[Rex]

Are you kidding me?

[matteh]

I was there.. it didn't look like 5,000 people to me either.. but I would certainly say more than 2,000. I don't know where they're getting their guess from.

[rockwell]

They called him a liar?

I'd get some lawyers on that and see if they can't fix things. That's slander, non?

[LibertyForever]

I was there, and it was probably between 3k and 5k definately not 2k or under 2k that is extreme bullshit. god i hate the corrupted media.

Some one show them their own report from the day of the event, youtube to the rescue

[Matthew Zak]

CNN is only fueling my fire.

[alsis8xmy]

that one is easy to debunk, so much for CNN's "fact checking"

You have to prove that the statement not only was false, but that it was stated with malice, intent to harm the reputation of RP. And there have been court cases in the past that have said the media can lie in their reports.

I think that you could have a valid claim, but CNN knows that nobody will pursue a claim.

I have never liked that political commentator. He's such a goofball. Now I hate him even more for accusing Ron Paul of exaggerating the attendance at the rally.

SAhouldn't CNN reveal where they got their factcheck from? The span between the time the statement was made and their factcheck segment was very short.

[Sandra]

After all lets remember the Sanjay Gupta factcheck fiasco when he was going up against Micheal Moore.

Dr. Paul was right - we COVERED the entire downtown area! 5k easy! Perhaps we were not 5k gather in one big glob - but 1-2k here another 2k-3k there, etc. CNN thought they were seeing the same people again and again, but they were not!

I think I'll be saying this all day:

They push us, we push back.

Make your own decisions on what you can do to push back. Honestly, the CNN debate was the straw that broke the camel's back.
