It's been really hard not to notice that suddenly certain events aren't being shown dur8ng the primitive block anymore and then you look them up and it's all the events Chinese people won.
It really is a microcosm of American propoganda. There's thousands of hours of almost any event you can think of happening but NBC paid millions of dollars so that every night we can have an hour of interviews, an hour of commercials, an hour of "inspiring backstories" and 15 minutes of watching the 6 swimming races and gymnastic disciplines America was competitive in that day.
When I was a kid my dad used to show me the difference between the Canadian feed and the American feed for the Olympics and even decades ago the American channels would basically only focus on American athletes, you'd hardly know there was anyone else competing if it wasn't for the overlay and scores.
They also keep showing events where Israel medaled. Not even gold. And in one case they didn't even show who got gold, just an Israeli getting silver.
