Earlier today, Garry Kasparov accused NBC Sports of pushing Putin propaganda. This latest downplay of decades of communism probably won’t make Kasparov change his mind about the network that’s airing the Sochi Olympics.

Many viewers of the opening ceremony couldn’t believe their ears when the narrator referred to decades of Soviet-era communism as a “pivotal experiment”:

No surprise.

Just recall how NBC lauded China during the Bejing Olympics.

Kindred spirits. Just watch MSNBC or the NBC evening news.

NBC = American Pravda

i.e. State-controlled “news”, usually weather,
especially next week’s possible weather dominates
if any the Dear Leader’s reprehensible lies or crimes
are being investigated or reported.

It seems like NBC has more communists per capita within it’s stuff than Russia and China combined.

They are broadcasting the events so I guess that they don’t want to make waves with their political soul mates in Russia.

NBC=Nothing But Communism

"Just watch MSNBC or the NBC evening news."

No thanks, Tom. Propaganda is so boring. You'll have to tell me about it--if you can manage to watch it.

And the Nazi era was a decade long experiment in eugenics

The dumb klunks who control the U.S. Propaganda Machine (aka the news media) are just itching to try that "pivotal experiment" in the United States.

It would have been a pivotal experiment if NBC would look at it and say, “Wow. We’re never going to do that again.”

Instead, they just look at it as something that failed, but is worth another try.

A “pivotal experiment” in abject failure, maybe...

I think NBC deserves all of the criticism it gets for this idiotic phrase that fails to mention the tens of millions of people killed in the Gulag or killed by other Soviet atrocities. Likewise, I’m disgusted every time I see a FReeper groveling like a groupie and writing some gushy praise for Putin who was employed by the KGB when the Gulag was still a tool of class genocide. Putin still threatens his neighbors, still aids America’s enemies (Iran’s mullahs), and aids those who spy on America.

I haven't watched the alphabet channels for evenining news since September 2003, when I got cable. I don't watch much cable news, except morning headlines and breaking. Much of what I read starts with FR links and internet raw streaming.

.. the Nazi era was a decade long experiment in eugenics.

One could say the same thing about the decades long experiment in the USA after Roe v. Wade.
