You can likely find complaints on Twitter about ANY given place....it doesn't necessarily mean the whole venue is a dump.
It’s like Amazon reviews.
Pretty much every widely reviewed product has 10% one star reviews.
The media is just obeying the GayStopo agenda.
NBC = News Be Censored
That’s what they do before every Olympics. At least going back to the LA games in ‘84. Somehow it became very important to them that the games must be DOOOOOOOOMED all the way up until they go off successfully.
There has never been an Olympics without some problems at the beginning. I wouldn’t mind the negatives so much if they said something of the positives about these Olympics. It does seem that the media might be stirring the pot a bit.
I’ve stayed in some hotels in Sochi. They are not world class, but the press is really sensationalizing things. That being said, I did get a kick out of the multiple toilets. That alone tells me that the Russians are very accommodating to Gays.
I agree. Obama and his sycophant US media want to embarrass Putin and will all they can to make Russia look bad.
Dmitry Kozak, the deputy prime minister responsible for the Olympic preparations, seemed to reflect the view held among many Russian officials that some Western visitors are deliberately trying to sabotage Sochi’s big debut out of bias against Russia.
“We have surveillance video from the hotels that shows people turn on the shower, direct the nozzle at the wall and then leave the room for the whole day,” he said.

I think the sodomite loving and infested American media is strongly working to discredit Putin.
I dunno. It seems pretty widespread. I used to travel a LOT and those conditions seem pretty Third World. Not only that, media from all Nations are complaining. And they send LOTS of photos so . . . the evidence strongly suggests they are being truthful and it is widespread. And finally, it is being held in a small town that did not have the infrastructure for this. They just didn’t get everything completed in time.
I think media is making them a lot bigger than they really are because the media loves turd burglars.
Putin’s ego won’t allow things to go too badly.
They ought to limit the Winter Olympics to six locations, rotating. Salt Lake City is the only host city that has ended up in the black, because so many venues were already there and didn’t need to be built. Many of the Winter Olympic sites end up being ghost towns after the games.
Probably a little of both. Some of the hotel shots I saw were obviously not ready for human occupancy but the press is very definitely trying to help the GLBT agenda along any way it can. As near as I can tell from the limited information we have, you’re OK if you’re an athlete, not OK if you’re the press. It may be that the latter is being sent a message as well.
Any time us common folk are, it's just a “glitch”.
Hysteria over problems is likely selective.
If this was Venezuela, Cuba, or Iran, the MSM would be enjoying the local and unusual culture with all of its charming spartan accommodations. You would read a few stories glorifying the government for rapid transformation with just a few minor hick-ups.
I don’t think so. The photo’s in this piece are pretty compelling
here’s a TV commercial pushing the gay Olympians....

Probably a little, but its important to keep two things in mind.
1) they have been preoccupied with a terrorist threat. The greatest thing Beijing had to worry about was smog.
2) Russian bureaucracy is nowhere near as efficient as China’s
I think in the end, people will have a great time
... unless the black widow strikes.
have you seen the pictures of the water coming out of the tap???
I am not sure you can over blow the problems when you are told not to wash with the water, do not flush, etc etc
As lying as our media is, they don’t need to lie to portray Russia as a run down dump.
