Crowd Size, Kamala vs trumpie (NYT)

Times pencils attended six rallies in August:

trumpie, Friday Aug. 9 Bozeman Mt., 4,300
Kamala, Satuday, Aug 10 Las Vegas, 6,200
trumpie, Saturday Aug. 17, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 5,900
Kamala, Tuesday Aug. 20, Milwaukee 12,800
trumpie, Friday August 23, Glendale, Az. 11,500
Kamala, Thursday Aug. 29 Savannah, Ga. 6,200

Total attendance Kamala three rallies: 25,200

Total attendance trumpie three rallies: 21,700

Kamala drew 14% more people than trumpie did despite two of Kamala's rallies being on weekdays, Tuesday and Thursday, while all three of trumpie's were on Friday and Saturday.

The Times' conclusion: "...both candidates draw comparably big audiences." Idk man, smh. 

I'm really, seriously upset with the Times. 

This afternoon, "Now That Interest Rates Are Falling, Let's Turn to Other Matters" "...our columnist points out a host of concerns that could weigh on financial markets", and this evening this crowd article.

I think I'm an honest broker and I don't think those two articles today are completely honest, maybe 86% honest.
