  • On 11 October 2016, the right-wing blog Liberty Writers posted a story, apparently in response to a New York Times report indicating that Hillary Clinton was leading early voting underway in Florida, claiming that Republican nominee Donald Trump drew a huge crowd at a rally at the Aaron Bessant Park in Panama City, Florida: The web site then posted a photograph it claimed was a bird's eye view of the rally. But the picture actually captured a jazz festival held at the same venue back in 2013: The photograph was originally published alongside a 24 April 2013 story in SoWal.com, a tourism-oriented blog about South Walton, Florida, regarding the Seabreeze Jazz Festival. It's unclear how many people attended the Trump rally. According to the city, the venue seats 7,500 people; according to Pensacola television station WEAR, the Trump campaign announced the crowd had reached 11,200, with an additional 10,000 outside the gate; according to Panama City station WJHG, organizers were expecting up to 7,500 people at the event; and according to a Panama City Beach Fire Department estimate, between 8,000 and 8,500 people were inside with another 10,000 to 11,000 outside. Regardless, the rally without doubt drew thousands of supporters. WCTV's James Buechele posted pictures to Twitter showing a large crowd lined up, waiting to get inside the venue to hear Trump speak: (en)
