Fred Being Fred

On Saturday, a "Draft Fred Thompson" rally was held in the small, out of the way town of Cooksville, Tennessee. The media is reporting attendance for the get-together at 300. But the petition that attendees signed had more than 500 names attached. The media pulled a similar shrinking job on the meeting that Thompson held on Capitol Hill earlier this month with Republican members of Congress.
[I guess it never occurred to the professional journalists to check the petition]
