> The real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden
Kinda daft not to assume this has been the case for a long time already
my question is more technical: how did the blot out the booing? and: how live was it in the US? from the Academy Awards we know that they have a 5s delay (following the Michael Moore incident), but what is it with olympics broadcast?
Citation needed.. really sorry to say it because there are plenty of things to say about the current US administration.
It feels like people inventing this story, farming for followers on socials by manufacturing outrage. And a close read of the article will uncover that it was denied by the networks.
This needs a deeper dig before opinions be formed - especially given the vehement denials of manipulation by the broadcasters.
People in the US heard the boos, as evidenced by the comments and others posting about it. All politicians get booed. But how many? And who controls the mics? The editing? The news press?
More anti-American propaganda on HN. Why does this keep happening? This is not news, nor is it relevant for HN.
I'll have to ask my brother but that might be NBC's audio engineer decision, or even his default settings (depending on the broadcaster voice).
I'm as critical as the US as they come, in fact I just cancelled my summer trip to the Appalachia, but seeing this as censorship is reading a bit too far, simpler explanations exist (crowd noises are dimmed by audio filters)
People from the US are totally unaware that their leaders are unpopular abroad!
If only traditional media didn't have such a stranglehold on the US population The people would know they would...
I fail to see the point of pushing this narrative. Has braindrain taken all of Europe good writers? Meanwhile China and America still take all the medals. All France can do is pick the games so Marchand gets the most golds, so much for collectivism.
Oh and Marchand swims for UT Austin BTW. An American school, training under an American coach with American infrastructure.

But until then, citation needed.
