Fuck you NBC.
Post it on Mastodon and here instead.
The REAL free speech platforms.
Love the Streisand effect. I had no idea there was footage of this cabbage patch chimp getting booed at the Olympics until they blocked it 😆
In Canada we don't censor that sort of stuff so watching the CBC stream was funny. All applause then the couch pest showed up and the entire stadium mood changed. Americans truly don't realize they are jokes outside of their country.
Like Israel at Eurovision. They had all the anti-booing on the streams, but some of it was still slipping through and Graham was like "I don't know what you can all hear at home, but this definitely an energetic reception" 😆
Ask yourselves, why do officials need ICE protection when they have the Secret Service?
They’re there to assist policing American fans, not to protect officials.
Because the US didn't have enough actual police officers they could bring?
Everyone hates you Vance. They hate you because you are dumb and you suck and you are a bad person.
and a couch fucker
I don't know that he's dumb, but that makes him even worse.
He’s not dumb. Oh my oh my the contrast. He sure as hell ain’t wise either.
hes just an empty puppet to be used by thiel.
Unfortunately a hollow straw man.
The world is Michael Scott and Vance is Toby

The video from the TV station must be copyrighted, but about everybody else's video from the audience?
ICE providing security for American politicians in another country? Don’t they have a dedicated security group called the Secret service or something like that?

How adorable! It’s all the fuck over YouTube
Yes but if the presenters didn't mention it, I could not detect boos from the video alone.

I have noticed this often when someone gets booed. Pretty obvious when you are there but not on video. As an audio nerd it has me perplexed.
I also think they were ready for that and they masked it live. It doesn't make any sense for the presenters to mention the booing if you can't even hear it in the recording. It must have been very loud.
I don't know how one would mask it Maybe the crowd is totally overdubbed. I cannot find phone recordings. Are all phone uploads of the event being rejected by YouTube?
It's not hard to mask them, just lower the microphones from the audience or play something else instead
It's all about mic placement. Ive had the good fortune to play sports on live tv in front of large crowds a good amount and it's not uncommon at all for the crowd sound on the broadcast to be way different than in person. That being said, I'd bet there's a different broadcast from a different country where you can totally hear the boos.
I am sure thet had more than a single microphone. So it is most probably all about the mix. Include crowd noises only when that is convenient.

I thought comedy was legal now? Video sure gave me a laugh.
Wish that shit platform would support free speech and not just csam.
I've seen NBC edited out the boos on their broadcast
So sad the regime needs to protect its citizens from its international perception via media censorship. Very North Korea.
Eurovision did the same.
NBC are the only broadcaster to take their own full camera setup so they can focus on American competitors. They don’t have quite have the Olympic spirit.
