What you think and what you say depends on what you know and what you believe. The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on Friday, broadcast and produced by NBC, contained what can only be called a complete rewrite of Russian History.
But is it any surprise that a Communist news organization like NBC would favorably cover its heroes?
Its as if NBC got everything they know about Russian history from an all night binge session of doobies, Cheetos, and Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons...
NBC anchor Meredith Vieira called the end of the Soviet Union a "bitter sweet moment". Did Putin have one of his goons in the broadcast booth at the time controlling her words? Is she serious? This may in fact be the dumbest statement EVER muttered on TV...

She is suggesting there was something sad about the retreat of one of the greatest oppression's in modern history! Bittersweet, saluting the oppressor and lamenting its departure.
Vieira misspoke for sure, but now how you think. She should have just called the end of the "Evil" empire a "bitter moment" because that is what the end of the USSR was for the Left in America, their spiritual homeland tossed into the ash heap of history, just as Ronald Reagan said it would be.
No one should be surprised that Russia is making every effort to white wash its history, trying to persuade themselves that the years of the A-bomb, the Korean War, Soviet troops crushing the uprising in Hungary never happened.

We expect the Russians to offer up all manner of political propaganda during the games. That DOESN'T mean you should sit, agree, and nod along. And you certainly don't endeavor to deliver that propaganda back to your countrymen at home.
Someone should call NBC and remind them what the "N" in their name stands for. National.
As in our Nation. Not there's.
