The gaffes just keep coming from the Numbskull  Broadcasting Company’s tape-delayed London Olympics coverage. Turns out that live viewers of the women’s gymnastics’ team medal competition on Tuesday saw Russia’s Ksenia Afanasyeva go splat during her floor exercises. Which virtually handed the gold medal to the Americans early on. But NBC coverage edited out Afanasyeva’s dramatic fall from its Tuesday night broadcast, which in and of itself is unthinkable since she’s the reigning world champion for floor exercises

“forget” you, NBC.

So cool, huh?!

Better link to the fall. She ate the floor like it was high fiber.

I’m just HOPING that this thread is BS...even though I know that it’s not,

If NBC sees a need to edit that out, once cannot even IMAGINE what they do with real news.

[RIghtwardHo]

PLEASE stop giving NBC the Olympics. They are SO terrible.

you mean the years whaen the russian and other communist judges ignored GLARING mistakes by the ussr and other communist countrys’ athletes, and deducted for madeup mistakes by OUR athletes?

I was looking forward to watching the opening ceremony and quite a few of the sports events. The opening ceremony was beyond BAD. It was so bad that we turned it off.

Then, the sporting events themselves turned out to be nearly as bad. NBC looks like the old Ted Mack Amateur Hour TV show. As to Matt Lauer, he could put any insomniac to sleep. So, we no longer tune in any Olympic events.

On the bright side, it is just more evidence of NBC’s rapid advance into oblivion. It just cannot happen soon enough.

bump for later...corporate firewall filter

See my tagline.

This is starting to remind me of The Running Man

Owww,that had to hurt physically as well as emotionally.
