Same AIG Story but different facts...

USA Today reported that there were about 40 protesters about 80 members of the press, however, if you read the New York Times it sounds like there were even less protesters and more media from a percentage aspect:

FAIRFIELD, Conn. — The bus pulled up at a quiet intersection on Saturday, just another chilly afternoon here in one of the wealthiest counties in America, where the median household income is $78,353 and where, a short walk up the street, an A.I.G executive lives.

A pastor whose sister-in-law is facing foreclosure, a recently laid off worker at a steel mill and a few of their colleagues walked up the residential street. A national and international press corps numbering about 50 hovered around them.

The pastor, Mary Huguley, and the laid off steel worker, Mark Dziubek, wanted to knock on the door of Douglas L. Poling, an executive vice president for energy and infrastructure investments at A.I.G., and deliver a letter.

They got as far as the edge of the driveway.

If this is the true version? It's even more obvious the media is fabricating this story to get it more attention than on Congress or the President...
