According to the CBS and the AP, several hundred protestors showed up outside Manhattan's federal courthouse complex on Saturday to protest the government's decision to try several terrorism suspects in New York City. The police reportedly put the number at just over 1,500.

Of course, it was to be expected that Fox News would wildly overinflate the numbers. Maybe even use some old footage. The Daily Show research staff was surely ready to pounce.

And indeed, one caption during a Hannity segment read: “Terror Trials Spark Massive Rally In New York City”

But here's how Hannity began the segment:

“In spite of the freezing rain, more than 1,500 people attended the massive rally outside the courtroom where the trials are expected to take place.”

With a straight face, Hannity called 1,500 people “massive.”

There's over 1.6 million people living in Manhattan -- 1,500 is anything but “massive.”

If it was sold out, more people attended the 8 pm showing of Wicked at the Gershwin Theater that night.

And guess who was on hand to interview the protesters? None other than Griff Jenkins, who expressed his support for Tea Party Express rallies and who stood by as his producer served as 9/12 protest cheerleader.

Of course, maybe Fox News meant “massive” compared to the 17 who attended Glenn Beck's “Christmas Sweater” premier in NYC.
