NBC Hides Boos, Exposing Trump’s Media Bias Hypocrisy
During the Winter Olympics opening ceremony, NBC’s prime time broadcast omitted the audible boos and jeering directed at Vice President JD Vance, a stark contrast to international coverage and on-site reports. While NBC denies intentionally editing out the crowd noise, analysis suggests they amplified music to mask the reaction. This incident highlights a broader pattern where political figures like Donald Trump have filed numerous lawsuits alleging “unfair editing” by news organizations when coverage portrays them unfavorably, yet remain silent when coverage, like NBC’s, benefits their allies. The article argues that these legal actions are not about genuine claims of defamation but are intended to pressure media companies into providing favorable coverage, ultimately chilling press freedom through intimidation rather than direct censorship.
