It's subtle, but obvious to the trained eye.

Defying experts, NBC clings to its ‘PyeongChang’ pronunciation

 

Per teh Twitterez, he's been suspended for the rest of the week by KNBR.

 

I love stories like this ...

Olympic Curler’s Shoes Are Revolting, Other Olympians Say

 

Among the biggest embarrassments of these Olympics is the moderator of the S. White press conference who refused to call on any female journalists upon realizing the questions might be about White's past settlement of a sexual-harassment suit and who cut off questions on the topic from anybody.

Having said that, I'm not a fan of this piece. It takes NBC to task for not mentioning a story that didn't gain traction until after the event had concluded. It accuses NBC of intentionally ignoring the story, yet it points out that White "quickly backtracked" for his stupid comments at the main press conference. The backtracking occurred on the Today show, an NBC program.
I agree with the basic premise that NBC isn't going to be the greatest source for bad news about anything Olympic. But this doesn't seem like the best example of that.

 

The camel toe on the speed skating uni is so prominent that they shoot from the waist up or from a distance

 

Gone as of this afternoon. I'm sure there is an opening in Boston he'd be great for.

 

USA-Canada women playing now. Hard to watch a game without Doc.

 

Star Wars music in figure skating? I am a fan.
