It’s there a video of this where we can hear them? They were censored completely.
ooooh. now im going to be searching for the booing. its great for nbc to let us know it was just that good.
Same thing Eurovision lied about doing for the apartheid promoting contestant.
Never trust profit-obsessed media conglomerates to stand up to fascist regimes unless you force them to by ruining profitability.
IOW: everyone should boycott the Eurovision song contest, NBC, and all companies associated with them in any way.
profit-obsessed
Aren’t all for-profit companies obsessed with profit? At the very least those with stocks. Yes, it’s an obsession, but it’s so normalised that writing it out feels like a pleonasm.
Basically all American news is censored and fake now.
Anything that could upset the government is removed.
I feel I need to speak out on behalf of smaller, independent outlets that still do real work in the USA. I listen to a few podcasts myself.
That’s fair, the large and billionaire owned news os bad though, and that’s all the mainstream ones.
It’s almost* never a good sign when a German term has an English Wikipedia page.
* notable exception: Rechtsstaat
It’s not just a matter of upsetting the government. People don’t watch the Olympics for politics so I would have edited out the boos too despite having no love for Vance.
The Olympics is literally a competition between countries. Of fucking course it’s political!
More to the point, coverage in other countries did not edit it out. This was uniquely American censorship/spin.
Americans shoehorned politics on everything.
But suddenly, when something can upset the egomaniac pedofile in charge, “not everything has to be about politics”.
Go back to your hole, we don’t like your kind here.
There was massive cheering when Ukraine entered. Would you have edited that too?
No, because I don’t think cheering and booing are in the same category here.
Can you explain?
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.
I won’t even try to discuss this with you sorry.
Thank you for your concern, but I have thick enough skin to handle some booing.
Everything is politics.
People don’t watch the Olympics for politics, but this is news. They should cover it unless they are no longer unbiased.
Next, they’re going to only show sports where US athletes win.
Since it’s the Winter Olympics, they’ll start editing to make it look like US athletes win every time. Like in North Korea.
Or, even better. They should show that Trump represents the country in every single discipline and wins.
Next year, The Trump Games. Trump competes in all events and wins them all. No expense spared. No other competitors allowed.
It would be hilarious to see Trump on skis though, or in pretty much all other olympic disciplines. ‘Old man tries not to die on ice’ is a show I might watch.
I’d pay good money for the Mango Mussolini to compete in the bobsledding, luge, downhill skiing, ski jump, or any other event where the poorly prepared face a significant risk of severe injuries up to and including death.
Most of the events will only be done in ai.
don’t they actually have something like that in russia, like their top hockey team has to fake losing to putin like he’s a make a wish kid?

Unfortunately, this year he’s going to threaten every country that wins.
Someone had an empathic sympathizer to make that call. Poor choice. Our creep of a veep has displayed subhuman views on multiple occasions. He should be treated as an invasive species. Tarred, feathered and vasectomized by a mob. We don’t wish him dead. Just the aforementioned.

Where did he get those gloves? Did he Buffalo Bill a nice L-shaped from the Ethan Allen Collection?
I’m not surprised, honestly — as best I can tell, this is pretty common. I watch a fair bit of the USWNT, and you can hear sudden drops in the crowd noise every once in a while. I assume it’s by the same logic as why they don’t show pitch invaders. But! You should go to live sports and shout things anyway because the people in the stadium can definitely hear you.
