As Twitchy reported, Garry Kasparov accused NBC Sports of pushing Putin ‘propaganda’ during its Sochi Olympics coverage. Twitter users noticed the suck-uppery and are continuing to point out the disgraceful Putin arse-kissing being performed by the fawning hacks at NBC.

I shouldn't be surprised but is it possible #NBC #Olympics2014 has provided #Putin more screen time than anyone else? #CommradeEnabler

@sallyjenx I thought your piece on Putin was fantastic. Any chance you could slide it over to NBC? They seem to need some background.

@Kasparov63 You're right. #NBC is absolutely fawning over Putin. It's grotesque.

It really is. So much so that this Twitter user is proposing a new logo:

Perfect.
@Matthops82 Nice! Their sucking up is really appalling.
