Maybe you can explain why mispronouncing somebody’s name and being proud of it is patriotic.

[EyeGuy]

Like religion, traditional family and workplace values, patriotism just isn't cool and hip among the counterculture losers.

It has been that way since the snot-nose baby boomers came of age in the mid 1960’s.

In case you were wondering, Finland has a mostly private, magnet school program with very few illiterate illegal aliens.

Hillary and Obama couldn’t pronounce Medvedev.

It’s not patriotism that’s the problem here. It’s stupidity and ignorance

[Berlin_Freeper]

Newsweek bashes USA just like likes to do.

[ANGGAPO]

Americans usually support the home team, except for those ingrates who live to bash our country. Guess who?

[VeniVidiVici]

Actually Susan Jacoby is a religion hater first and foremost. Hating America is a close second.

[cranked]

These globalist and transnationalist types, like this Newsweek idiot, have neglected to tell anyone that becuase of globalization, which they trumpet as a triumph, has inherently produced NATIONALISM/Patriotism.....

I would suggest these idiot crybabies deal with it.
This particular Newsweek idiot should be fortunate he has the luxury to write his whining tidbits in ink.....

[sarasota]

NBC’s Today Show’s Olympic coverage is slanted toward the American viewer. I guess they assume Americans want a recap of our performances first thing in the morning.

[Oratam]

So what? CBC coverage was all about Canadians, except when it was about Lindsey Vonn.

If the author is so disgusted, then he/she/it (didn't look, don't care) should feel perfectly free to emigrate to a better place.

Why, anyone would think that these medals were more important than the performance of American students on international comparison tests of achievement in school.

Well, at the Olympics they are, doofus.

[The KG9 Kid]

From the article:

"... Another story you're not likely to hear on NBC is that Canadian students outperform Americans on every international test."

... Except international Hockey, because their asses just got saaaaaaaaacked.

And there's a majority of Canadians who would give up their students allegedly outperforming American kids on 'international tests' to have won that hockey game. Believe that.
