    Basically all American news is censored and fake now.

    Anything that could upset the government is removed.

      I feel I need to speak out on behalf of smaller, independent outlets that still do real work in the USA. I listen to a few podcasts myself.

        That’s fair, the large and billionaire owned news os bad though, and that’s all the mainstream ones.

        It’s almost* never a good sign when a German term has an English Wikipedia page.

      It’s not just a matter of upsetting the government. People don’t watch the Olympics for politics so I would have edited out the boos too despite having no love for Vance.

        The Olympics is literally a competition between countries. Of fucking course it’s political!

        More to the point, coverage in other countries did not edit it out. This was uniquely American censorship/spin.

        Americans shoehorned politics on everything.

        But suddenly, when something can upset the egomaniac pedofile in charge, “not everything has to be about politics”.

        Go back to your hole, we don’t like your kind here.

        People don’t watch the Olympics for politics, but this is news. They should cover it unless they are no longer unbiased.

    Next, they’re going to only show sports where US athletes win.

    Since it’s the Winter Olympics, they’ll start editing to make it look like US athletes win every time. Like in North Korea.

    Or, even better. They should show that Trump represents the country in every single discipline and wins.

      Next year, The Trump Games. Trump competes in all events and wins them all. No expense spared. No other competitors allowed.

        It would be hilarious to see Trump on skis though, or in pretty much all other olympic disciplines. ‘Old man tries not to die on ice’ is a show I might watch.

          I’d pay good money for the Mango Mussolini to compete in the bobsledding, luge, downhill skiing, ski jump, or any other event where the poorly prepared face a significant risk of severe injuries up to and including death.

    Same thing Eurovision lied about doing for the apartheid promoting contestant.

    Never trust profit-obsessed media conglomerates to stand up to fascist regimes unless you force them to by ruining profitability.

    IOW: everyone should boycott the Eurovision song contest, NBC, and all companies associated with them in any way.

      profit-obsessed

      Aren’t all for-profit companies obsessed with profit? At the very least those with stocks. Yes, it’s an obsession, but it’s so normalised that writing it out feels like a pleonasm.

    Someone had an empathic sympathizer to make that call. Poor choice. Our creep of a veep has displayed subhuman views on multiple occasions. He should be treated as an invasive species. Tarred, feathered and vasectomized by a mob. We don’t wish him dead. Just the aforementioned.
