Spicer's numbers about attendance have not been disproven...
Factcheck.org:
“I have a right to say if you add up the network streaming numbers, Facebook, YouTube, all of the various live streaming that we have information on so far, I don’t think there’s any question it was the largest watched inauguration, ever,” Spicer said.
On that point, Spicer may be correct. While Nielsen TV ratings were higher in past years, some data suggests online viewership was up compared with 2009. But there is no comprehensive measurement available that would prove or disprove this claim......
Akamai Technologies, a content delivery network for most of the major networks and newspapers, reported that the Trump inauguration was the largest single live news event that the company has delivered. At its peak, the company recorded 4.6 million people watching the inauguration simultaneously (up from a peak of 3.8 million back in 2009), said Chris Nicholson, a spokesman for Akamai. Many more people may have tuned in to the inauguration online at other times, he said. And, he noted that Akamai’s customers represent “a big chunk but not all” of the online providers of the live video of the inauguration.
Does all that add up to the most viewed inauguration in history? Maybe, but data necessary to make apples-to-apples comparisons are limited.....
