Beijing Smog Scandal:
Pollution Clouding NBC Coverage

Is it just me, or have other people noticed the completely dense smog during NBC’s primetime coverage the last two nights? Keep in mind that evening Eastern time is morning Beijing time. So it is daylight in China when NBC comes on at 7pm Eastern.

Bob Costas has been anchoring NBC’s primetime coverage from the International Broadcast Center and there is a window behind him that overlooks the Olympic Green area.

The smog was so thick last night (Thursday morning in Beijing), that Bob moved from his first location on the NBC set (with window behind) to another spot which had murals of China’s scenery, not a window to the smoggy world behind him.

In addition, NBC is obviously no longer using LIVE pictures (so-called B-roll) when they show Beijing Olympic venues.

I’m not the only one who has noticed that Beijing’s blue skies of last Friday have turned to grey and choking smog.

I am shocked - SHOCKED - that the media is falling for China’s claim that air quality in Beijing is “good.” I am also shocked at how little we hear about air quality since the games opened last Friday.

Before the games there were countless photos and stories about Beijing’s pollution. Now we’re being told it’s “fog” not “smog.” And those network trailers that show clear blue skies over The Great Wall and Tiananmen Square - what’s up with that?

When you watch the Olympics tonight, know that the blue skies that NBC shows was NOT filmed today or is NOT live from Beijing today.

NBC is as guilty as the Chinese of “lip-synching” — in this case, NBC is showing blue skies in Beijing while in reality, you can barely see the buildings behind Bob Costas.

Finally, have you ever seen a US city as dirty as Beijing has looked over Costas’ shoulder? Remember — China would have been exempt from Kyoto despite their air being completely disgusting.

Once again, high definition TV is showing the lies coming out of Beijing.

Will Michelle Cheer or Brood?

That was an awesome race last night. Special congrats go to Charlotte-based Cullen Jones!

One of my first thoughts after savoring the win over the trash-talking French team…. I wonder if Michelle Obama is proud of America today. I wonder if she was proud, like I was, after the 1980 Olympic Hockey team’s win over the Soviet Union. Or the many other stellar moments of American sports pride in MY adult lifetime.

I wonder…

NBC: Nothing But Communism

Wow.  Not only does our big-screen HDTV (sure to be outlawed by the Obama Regime) show the awesome color and detail of the Bejing Olympics — it also clearly highlights the collaborative language being used constantly NBC commentators toward the Communist Chinese regime.

Have they forgotten Tianamen Square Massacre?  This the same regime, remember.  The biggest violator?  NBC’s “China Expert” from Friday night’s Opening Ceremonies coverage:  Joshua Ramo.

The most jarring moment for NBC?  When the athletes from USA and Iraq got nearly as much applause as China’s team.  Wait!  I thought the world hated us?   Matt Lauer stuttered at the rousing USA welcome Friday night — obviously not knowing what to say.

Still, the praising of today’s China by NBC since Friday night is becoming embarrassing.  They are openly rooting for Chinese athletes against all others — including our USA Olympians.

Quite disgusting, but more and more typical and expected for the Peacock Channel.
