NBC Story about Hacking at Sochi is 100% Fraudulent

There are many things I am sure they would agree on. Murder is bad. Theft is bad. I haven't read any positive thing in the press about murder or theft. Is it because they are all bought by anti-theft cabal or is it because they actually agree on it being bad? Maybe they just think Putin is bad and the preparation for Olympics was completely messed up.

As for positive reports - news usually aren't positive. It always has been so. Nobody reports positive things unless they are exceptionally positive. Fireman saves the lives of ten - news. Drunk driver plows into a tree - news. Drunk man decides not to drive but walk and safely arrives home - not news. A man comes from work, meets his wife and kisses her - not news.

Murder is bad but was George Zimmerman justified? Is the death penalty just?

Never underestimated the news media's ability to split the American public in half.

News isn't usually positive, but what do you think the tone of this coverage is compared to the coverage of the London olympics?

I personally strongly dislike the way gay people are treated in Russia and I am enjoying the drubbing they're getting from Western media.

But the parent comment is right, it's eerie to suddenly hear partisan media singing from the same hymn sheet.

Maybe in London when you get a hotel room doorknobs do not fall off?

Or maybe they do, but nobody makes international issue from that?

Sure, everybody has agreed to hide leaking toilets and falling off doorknobs in London but emphasize it in Russia. I'm sure Elders of Zion or reptiloid Martians are behind that. Keep wearing that tinfoil hat.

In the last American hotel room I went to, doorknob from off.

Yes, there is two things you can count on as purest evil, and that us murder, and anything Russian. Good point.

Except I never said that. But keep talking to your imaginary friend, I'm sure actually addressing points made in discussion is much less entertaining.
