Yea, what is with these network commentators interjecting politics anyway? I have been hearing alot about broadsided America bashing going on there. The Olympics is a time to be proud of the efforts made by the USA teams. Wait.. aren't these the same networks that have been demoralizing our troops with the constant media blitz about Bush lies? On second thought I am not surprised.
I just saw Lampley's political propaganda. It was sickening and so contrived. "The greek people love the American people but don't want Bush at the games" ... "The Iraqi soccer team does not want Bush at the games."
Well NBC, I tuned in watch sports, not to hear your lies and BS. Its over.
CLICK.
Right On Selene!
You wonder who's side they're on. The ratings continue to fall for this very reason.
An excerpt from National Review Online:
"In this regard, Greece is a metaphor for the entire ambivalence of the continent. It now worries about Arab terrorists in Athens, despite courting Middle East dictators for decades. It castigates the U.S. for bothering an Islamic Iraq, but Greeks lauded Milosevic in support of his Orthodox crusade against Albanian and Kosovar Muslims. A few years ago we were booed by Athenians for trying to save Muslims in the Balkans, and now we are even more vehemently trashed for allegedly killing them. Thousands publicly hissed at the U.S. in the immediate aftermath of 9/11; yet American sailors openly patrol the Greek coastline while Special Forces not so openly help train Olympic security officers. Add it all up and there is one constant: Greece (like Europe) really does count on the U.S. as much as it counts on never having to say that publicly.

LOWLIGHT: NBC dropped the ball by failing, during a four-hour prime-time telecast Saturday, to report on the controversy surrounding judging in the gymnastics all-around competition won by American Paul Hamm. NBC argues that the issue was covered at least five times earlier in the day Saturday, and there wasn't more to be said. But Hamm is a prime-time player whose inspirational victory dominated Wednesday night's telecast. Viewers of NBC's prime-time on Saturday -- its showcase broadcast of a long day -- deserved a complete report.
