News Blog C10-1: Trump's Inauguration

Following Donald Trump's inauguration and the false claims about crowd size the Huffington Post followed up with an article about the White House and media overage. There were several claims that news outlets edited pictures of the national mall to make the crowd sizes of Donald Trump's inauguration look smaller than Obama's. It is true that the crowd sizes were smaller compared to the inauguration of 2009 but not as small as some of the pictures depict. Trump's Chief of Staff Reince Priebus says that they are not so much as mad about the smaller turn out than the fact that the media is trying to delegitimize the President in one day. The White House has claimed that there is a running war between them and the media and that they will be aggressively stance with news organizations.
