The ignorance of the media continues, Sheperd Smith (a total asshole) says Baton Rouge is a small University town of less than 100,000 people.
The fact is:
Baton Rouge is the capital of Louisiana and it’s second-biggest city. The city is situated on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River. As being the “Capital City”, Baton Rouge is the political center for Louisiana and is the second-biggest metropolitan city in the state, with a developing population of 228,895 individuals starting 2014. The metropolitan territory encompassing the city, known as Greater Baton Rouge, has a population of 820,159 individuals starting 2013. The urban region has around 594,309 people.
