another bit of bias from the media-re: mexico
this was in an ap article:
"Police officials from the pro-Lopez Obrador city government said many as 900,000 people took part. On the ground, the crowd appeared to be much smaller, though still vast."

so, we suddenly admit govts. could possibly lie about crowd counts? you know, like when the antiwar rallies in this country drew +1 million and the govt.reported it as being 10,000 or so. i'm sure the ap was out there disagreeing with the 'official' count then, too
