@azdober what are you talking about?! That's rubbish, they showed bits from the opening ceremoney that were nice! And even when they do say something negative about the Chinese gov' , it's for tge sake of human rights! No government or authority anywhere in the world has the right to ignore human rights, no matter what they're hosting!

[donalmerrick]

@hiwaymanx no, actually nearly all channals from all countries tape delay to suit the appropriate time zone(s)

NBC is not nitpicking they're reporting...they have a job to report the news reguardless or what country they are in. NBC were not the only news network reporting that story CNN, CBS, ABC etc all reported that story. Lets not forget NBC Sports beings you the beauty of the olympics NBC NEWS such as the "Today Show" brings you the news...different departments.

The Olympics: "live" on 12 hour tape delay on NBC. What a joke! Every other country in the world shows the games live and Americans have to deal with this rubbish. How sad.

You are quite wrong. NBC enticed the Beijing Organizers to move some events (Mostly Swimming) to the morning to let some viewers (USA) see some of the events in Primetime.

[notredame6789]

Yeah but there was still a lot of stuff on major tape delay. For example, I was really mad because they showed the women's balance beam finals like 24 hours after it happened, so I accidentally found out that Shawn won.

[azdober]

China should kick NBC out of their country. NBC is nitpicking the Host. ie little girl pantomiming a song at the opening ceremonies. Instead of bringing the beauty of the whole moment to its viewers, NBC is doing everything it can to reduce the beauty of the olympics. If I invite you to a party & I get wind that you are dissing me. You're gone. NBC has no shame. Instead of making everything beautiful for our athletes they are bringing negativity to this great moment in history. Totally WRONG!

WTF were are the opening ceremonies??? I wanted to see the part were the guy almost fell with the torch.
