Here is an current article talking about a bunch of different inaugurations and the crowd estimates. Most of those reference crowd estimates from the New York Times. So, The NYtimes at least reported on it each time.

If I had access to various archives I could show that sometimes it turns into a big deal and sometimes it is ho hum.
But the crowd sizes are always discussed and usually there is disagreement.
This is the first time I remember a special News conference to refute them though.
