Awesome! Maybe we need to restore the networks?!

This is the worst coverage of any Olympics we’ve ever watched. It’s so disorganized and chopped up that the viewer can’t get interested in it. We gave up and watched a movie instead.
Their sponsors ought to ask for at least half their money back.
Nothing
But
Crap
I’ve lost interest in the Olympics. Don’t plan on watching but a few, if any events.
The “networks” have worked hard to become the enemy of the American people. “I hope they fail”, as Rush would say.
I am concerned that we once again will entrust the Presidential debates to them, airing them, composing and asking their gotcha gotcham gotcha questions, and their smirks and sighs.
I have watched none of it and won’t. What else does anyone expect to see when they ask a professional question of Romney, he give a professional’s answer and he gets lambasted for their definition of a gaff?
The Olympics is supposed to not be about politics but sport and nationalism. You have an American journalist asking for a professional evaluation and Romney answered with exactly what he was reading in the US and mostly British press.
I still don’t like Romney as the nominee but one positive thing came out of that answer, I would rather know the truth than to be told what they think I want or need to hear. My hope didn’t last long though as Romney the next day gave another nuanced political answer to a professional question. Hey Romney, grow a spine of something other than semolina. Because we all know noodles get a little wobbly when the heat is turned up.
Before the start of the olympics I went to the NBC site to “get started” so I could watch on my computer. What a disaster!. I have adobe flash, and the required att uverse account but still I couldn’t get on. I finally gave up and I am watching tennis on Bravo and recording swimming to watch later.
NBC digital operations chief Vivian Schiller is showing the same tone-deaf arrogance that led to her resignation at NPR after being caught trashing conservatives on tape.
Get her a gold medal for poor sportsmanship:
Vivian Schiller does not belong in US Media. She belongs in the Politburo.
I just want a usable schedule grid of what will be on when. Not the interactive mess that they have on their web site.
My daughter tweeted, “Is this Bob Costas last Olymics? Does he just want it to be his last?”
They all pulled some videos of events from their website — so those venues [such as USA men’s gymnastics] could only be seen, chopped up, interspersed with commercials, inundated with inane talk-overs, and segments played throughout their evening programming.
Too bad that NBC gets to ruin another Olympics. They have been doing it since the mid 90s.
Last night, we were reduced to watching Olympic clips on Telemundo.
People are actually complaining they didn’t get to see more of that mess of a show?
meh..get over it. it was horrible and yea the tribute would have been nice but honestly the show was a disgrace in every other way.
What do you expect, NBC is owned by Comcast, God and competence have no place in that company, they worship at the alters of “diversity is our strength” and other progressive ideals!
I set up a proxy server and I’m watching the bbc stream. It’s live, and it’s better than NBC scre you NBC.
Exactly!!
The taped delay of the 400 meter men’s swim final was ridiculous. I knew the results six hours before. It was all over the internet. Why didn’t they show it live? It was Saturday, and millions would have watched it live. A bunch of pinheads.
Not surprised the idiots at NBC failed to correct the old fool Morgan Freeman’s “ath-a-lete” mispronunciations in the NBC Olympic promos.
