No, you’re right. The fact that *no source of information in the world* - since when is Fox part of the MSM, BTW??? - that I could find said the same thing means absolutely nothing, Anonymous Poster on a Web Forum.

No comments from this any of the participating countries - because of course the US, Aussies, French, Germans etc. etc. etc. contingents would all keep quiet if this was the case - but, yes, of course, you’re right.

Only Team GB had aircon. None of the other 203 countries’ athletes. Right.

Opinion:

Fox News/Sports IS a part of the MSM. I find them to be just as left-wing as ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, The Washington Post, The New York Times, et al. Fox was obviously behind Romney and the GOP-e, who is obviously a liberal or at the very best, a totally unprincipled person who will wet his finger, hold it in the air then go with the flow. Fox was behind McCain, who is a treasonous RINO. Again, that’s just my opinion.

I didn’t say that I was right about anything. I was merely reporting what I had read on one of the MSM sites. :-)

If you were offended by my comment about “I wouldn’t put it past you brits”, it’s just that I have known and worked with many. :-)

My comment about “believing someone who says something on a web forum”: That is a multi-edged sword. In other words, why believe me, you, the MSM or, for that matter, anyone else online? LOL

Calm down.

I read in an article on Fox Sports yesterday that all of the dorm rooms where the brit athletes are staying are air conditioned while the rest of the dorms are not air conditioned.

That doesn't even pass the smell test.

Michael Phelps: "We walked in and tried to crank the thermostat down, but nothing was happening all day and they told us in a meeting that we have no air conditioning. ... so we have some air circulating but everybody has to deal with it."

Might be a service issue, instead of omission of AC units in all other countries' rooms.

I just passed on information that I had read on Fox Sports. It is the decision of each reader to make up his/her mind about the validity of the information. :-)
