timbuk3 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 hey name caller!.. it IS about politics!.. FYI, NBC is the most liberal network on the planet, HENCE, HENCE!, the reason they cannot get the olympic coverage right, get it JACKASS!???, LIBERALS GET EVERYTHING WRONG, MUCHLESS HOW TO COVER SPORTS.. what the f- is olbermann on sunday night football?. he is a clueless liberal, brings his liberal mindset to the table on that coverage.. Too bad it's not on FOX. Then we would never have to watch any of those games involving those commie teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cocktosten Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 it is oberman's fault that dick embersol makes a bad call ? come on !

dwight in philly Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Based on your first post, and it is a judgment (you asked for it). Whether or not the producers of NBC are making a bad programming call has nothing to do with politics, and any sane person here can recognize that. Paging DC Tom... my opinion, not judgment, is based on how NBC operates. they are clueless. as i am seeing they appeal to most of the people on here, like-minded,liberal, uninformed . guess i should do as most liberal's like, i should keep quiet . let the people listen to rachel maddow and go on my way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Actually, IMO it is the other way around. People may think I am a flaming liberal... They should meet my wife...

John Cocktosten Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Your a !@#$in moron. Obama is NOT ruining America. How the !@#$ can people like you forget that Bush !@#$ed up America and Obama has to deal with all the crap that he left them! Your f'n retarded and pathetic. People like you are the reason why a lot of other countries cant stand Americans. Which is sad because most Americans are intelligent and good people. I hate this statement. Any NON-American who is remotely intelligent knows that there is a difference between foreign policy and a US citizen. The other ridiculous part of your statement would assume that other countries are perfect and without flaw. It's simply an ignorant statement buddy.

If Sarah Palin runs for president and wins the republican nomination, a democrat (Obama, if he chooses to run for re-election) will win the White House in the next national election cycle. She's just like Howard Dean would have been in 2004. Too far right (vs. Dean's left), and too stupid (vs. Dean's airy intelligence) to appeal to the middle. She's nice for all of the evangelicals who hate abortion and want to hear a pretty face articulate the message, but if she wins the Republican primary, Obama or any other democrat who doesn't drool on himself or herself will destroy her by following the Rove plan - let others make her look stupid, treat her with kid gloves personally and avoid stooping to her level. So, contrary to your point, come 2011 and 2012, all of those "liberals" for whom you show disdain will be busting out their "Palin for President" buttons. Bank it, and vote for her in the PA or NJ republican primary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTW2012 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I can think of a few reasons why the schedule is the way it is. 1) Canadian Olympic officials set the schedule for the preliminary round, and wants US vs Canada in prime time, where it will be shown on CTV in its entirety because all of Canada is looking forward to this game. 2) NBC wants to show programming with the broadest appeal, i.e. events that appeal to women and most Americans who really don't follow hockey. With Sunday prime time being the biggest audience of the week, NBC would rather show the ice dancing, plus go back and forth to other events, in order to maximize ratings. Devoting a 3-hour slot exclusively to hockey would probably be ruinous to their ratings, given the poor history of US viewership of hockey. 3) Given all this, NBC does have an outlet to show the US vs. Canada game in its entirety, although not on its flagship network, but yes, on a cable network without HD. Their thinking is that anyone who was interested in the game will go the extra mile to seek it out. Certainly if you are a fan of hockey, which I assume everyone here is, then you would disagree with the programming decisions. However, I can understand why they are doing this. And guess what? It has nothing to do with politics- liberal, conservative, or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
