In the USA at the moment, failing to enjoy the Olympics because of the time delay coverage. I am however reveling in the internet barrage of NBC on various social media over their coverage (or rather lack of it) for the games. You can read a bunch of their glorious bloopers here .
Due to the massive US bias on broadcasting here (which is probably not a bad thing for a compan broadcasting to a US audience) it is rather difficult to find broadcasts that showcase athletes from home in Zimbabwe (unless there is an American in the race of course). I don't object to the American bias on NBC, I just object to not being able to get a second opinion. Almost all other sources are blocked out including the normally pervasive Youtube. I cannot access a BBC, or a European Olympic broadcast at all (unless of course i go throught the pain of trying to work through a proxy server). Reminds me of George Orwell's 1984 when the only veiwpoint you can access is that of the 'official' channels.
The way I see it is that it is pretty much a form of censorship, but one that has been paid for rather than implemented by a government body.
