1. When did it become "generally accepted"?
Every story I've seen linked said "organizers say", or at best one cop agreeing with them.

2. Over 400k - DUers quoting other sources and in more than one NY paper.
So maybe I'm a bit liberal with my generally accepted but hey, we all know its a lot more than 100k. Photos do not lie. Fill a stadium and you're already at 75,000. Sunday's protest was huge and the world knows it.

4. Hey!
Being "a bit liberal" is hardly a problem here!

5. I saw it on FAUX this morning
...I saw one of their talking heads say "five hundred thousand" as she was making another point. Nobody disputed it.
