1. It's not NBC's job. It ours

3. I thought it would be everybody's.

Especially a news organization covering the event.

5. I agree with you

But think about it. You have a host country, a foreign press and a need for access and logistics.

Something is going to compromised.

That said, an hour long special on a sister network wouldn't be so terrible.

9. The coverage doesn't have to originate from Sochi, exclusively.

Through the magic of television, the bright light can be shined on them from New York, or DC or anywhere, really. They don't have to fold it into their Olympics programming if they're too frightened, they can free up a bloc of time in their nightly news reports, Sunday talkers, and assorted newsmagazines. Even the light-on-substance talk shows could take a crack at it.

It's the TALKING about the discrimination that is a bit lacking.

Today, I learned that a gay athlete won a gold medal, and Pootie "gave her a cuddle" in a bar. Talk about bizarre!

12. Agreed

That was the intent of my last post.

Yours is better articulated

2. Human rights issues, dog slaying issues -

as much as I love sports I am taking a pass on these Olympic games. It's disgusting.

10. Me, too.

No curling for me for at least another four years.

Dammit.

6. Did you know according to some here we are DU fascists and kill joys?

Makes me sick.

[William769]

8. Thanks for the link and info.

Have to say some of the attitudes I have seen here by some have shocked me.
