How Big Was The Crowd in DC?

When I read "The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS" I learned that the media are capable of distortion and dishonesty without ever actually lying. The 9/12 march in Washington illustrates that this is still the case. "Thousands of marchers" is just as truthful as "dozens of marchers." But how many were really there? That estimate varies but let it be said that the MSM were low-balling the figure.
