The US vice-president, JD Vance, was greeted by a chorus of boos during when he appeared at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Milan on Friday
I don’t expect that the cheering for Ukraine was due to their performance in sports.
If you remove booing because it is political, then political cheering should be in the exact same category.
The point is, that it is not up to the media to shape reality. Their job is to spread knowledge of it, as it is, not as they want it to be or as some want it to be
I’d say it’s like at a graduation. You can clap for a student on stage if you want to, and more popular students will naturally get more clapping, but you’re not supposed to boo anyone at all.
I don’t think that broadcasting the Olympics is “spreading knowledge” - the Olympics is a performance, and removing segments where things don’t go according to plan is like removing outtakes from a movie.
No, because I don’t think cheering and booing are in the same category here.
Can you explain?

I won’t even try to discuss this with you sorry.
