Exactly whom do they [think they're] fooling?

I don't know who they think they've fooled, but I have a good idea of whom they have fooled.

It's interesting that this "article" comes from the same end of the political spectrum that tirelessly claimed that media reports on the antiwar rallies consistently and purposely understated the number of people participating.

But even beyond that: the article insinuates that there's some kind of conspiracy at work, seeking to misrepresent the number of individuals present in the square by using tight camera shots focused on the action.

Cameras focusing on the subject? You mean they didn't shoot the footage from half a mile away?

Unthinkable! Clearly indicative of something dastardly.

Just imagine what a televised football game would look like if these folks were behind the cameras. (Got yer squinters on?)

You may have noticed in the picture that the winches were already attached and the pulling was underway. According to the propoganda report the crowd was already trying to pull the statue by hand but couldn't. If that were the case the full crowd had already gathered. Did you see the part where at least some of the crowd consisted of the U.S. operatives which had been flown in from exile.
