disgusted

It might be just me.

NBC is talking about what happened in China in 1989. It is interesting to see how the US media act during the Olympics. When there is not enough negative things happening in the games, they are digging out the old dirt again.

We all have problems. But there is a huge difference between trying to help and being self-righteous plus judgemental.

The US is all about 'the story'. What sucks is that it adds a continued bad taste in other countries mouths. I cannot say I blame them. It seems that the media continues to perpetuate...it drives me crazy.

The whole gymnastics thing (China being underage) angered me since it seemed that since we did not get 1st place or the gold we are going to whine and complain about it. Yeah - whatever. We still got SILVER. Get over it.

This country is a disgrace sometimes. We need to grow up and realize that we are not the only people in the world. Have a little respect and some class. These are two things that are not taught anymore!

Honestly in my opinion its really simple...like Trudi said, the media just wants a story. If somethings doesn't happen to give them their story they will make one with something else. They don't really care if it makes someone look really good or bad...they just want their story.
