The world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in the US | Bryan Armen Graham

The real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden

This is so cool. NBC censored out the booing for American viewers, while BBC and CBC didnt.

At least it shows that different channels have different views on what they should censor.

    Everyone heard it. Mostly because nobody actually watched any of that shit on NBC, and watched it online instead where the boos were there for everyone to hear.

    The land of the free sure loves to protect the ears of their brave snowflakes from people around the world booing this pope-killing couch fucker of a VP. Did he even say thank you for those boos?

      Okay, you got me to almost do a literal spit-take there. Thank you.

      Only a matter of time before Trump suggests an American Olympics, perhaps the best Olympics ever. :)

        That’s one he was talking about before right? With two youth from every state, with a hunger for victory, coming to compete in games?

    Time was we used to mock things like State Television that places with outright authoritarian governments or sham democracies had.

    Now it’s just so blatant here. And honestly, the tilt to corporatism was not even all that subtle before. It’s just that now in addition to that, the media has to mindful of Donvict’s administration’s fee-fees, too. Just like delicate flowers in shithole countries.

    Can I sue for millions of dollars because it caused me emotional distress? Like when 60 minutes cleaned up Kamala’s interview?

    I don’t like the idea of living in a country where 100% of the media is controlled by the wildly unpopular fascist regime in power.

    This isn’t a joke, the media absolutely needs to be able to exercise free speech.

    In the Japanese broadcast, you could barely hear the booing. The announcers made zero mention of it as well.
