FAIR causes New York Times to change its story

After concerns raised by FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting), the New York Times changes its tune:

NYT October 30:
“drew 100,000 by police estimates and 200,000 by organizers’, forming a two-mile wall of marchers around the White House. The turnout startled even organizers, who had taken out permits for 20,000 marchers.”

NYT October 27:
the “thousands” of demonstrators were “fewer people… than organizers had said they hoped for.”
