Doctored photo?
There's actually been quite a bit of Fox-navel gazing lately as they celebrated their 10th anniversary. One example:

A biased examination published in the LA Times.

And an interesting and accurate analysis of new media in the Washington Post today.

They have the photo but they don't know when it took place...
Nor did they have significant estimation of the crowd...
(both their own words in the story, and I could go on from there)
Were they there? Did they even report?
SCARE TACTIC.
And really take a look at the photo.
