Trump has so thoroughly brought Big Journalism to heel that NBC makes a transparently hollow denial that it covered up the Olympic audience's booing of JD Vance. The denial is a pathetic but telling lie. It tells us a lot about the network's disintegrating integrity.

Booing of Vance wasn't hidden in Europe.
Europe doesn't like Vance much. It is a point of worry that if Trump goes for one reason or other, Vance is next.
Europe like and trust Vance even less than Trump (which at first wouldn't seem possible).
@dangillmor The DNC is incapable of upholding the #TrumpPrecedent. They'll get their bribes the old fashioned way - by kissing oligarch ass, not lawsuits designed to warp the news.
@dangillmor I remember when we used to make fun of regimes who did this....
@dangillmor big journalism isn’t following the right wing agenda it’s leading it.
@dangillmor They must have bought the Eurovision anti-booing technology.
Neo-liberalism has made the system so fragile.
Optimality and resilience are at odds, they form a pareto front. And resilience definitely lost the trade-off.
Perfect feeding grounds for authoritarians.
The same crowd that broke the system will continue to usurp it.
It’s not trump… it’s every single republican.
@dangillmor After all the practice NBC got from editing out the smoke from Pam Bondi's crucifix whenever she wore it on camera, I'm sure dealing with just boo-washing the sound was child's play.
