Satellites, balloons, and math used to count inauguration crowd | Cutting Edge - CNET News
Steve Doig, a journalism professor at Arizona State University who specializes in crowd counting, said he is estimating there were 800,000 people in attendance, based on a satellite image taken by GeoEye about 40 minutes before the swearing-in ceremony.

Hmmmm.
So much hype, now so much egg.

You'd think they'd have learned when Drudge blew the Clinton-Lewinski story Newsweek wanted to bury... but no... they keep on keep'in on.
