On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” today, Al Sharpton quite vocally expressed his disagreement with Nancy Pelosi’s insistence that American Olympians refrain from anything resembling criticism of the Chinese government while they’re over there.
So at least someone at MSNBC’s willing to err on the side of morality. But it doesn’t look like the same can be said for NBC.
Because NBC is going full-throttle ChiCom bootlicker:

NBC be like: "I know Western countries are protesting over human rights and literal genocide, but look at everything China has done in Africa and Latin America!" https://t.co/oeSZYoUFbA

NBC casually pushing Chinese Communist propaganda:
“It’s worth remembering that while Western countries may be boycotting these Olympics over human rights issues, China styles itself as a champion of the developing world. And it has plenty of support…" pic.twitter.com/7fmIjow2V9

NBC Olympics opening ceremony coverage: “It’s worth remembering that while Western companies may be boycotting these Olympics over human rights issues, China styles itself as a champion of the developing world, & it has plenty of support from countries…”pic.twitter.com/xKJiWUdZQD

NBC should be ashamed of their Olympic coverage.
“While western companies may be boycotting these Olympics over human rights issues, China styles itself as a champion of the developing world.”

The Washington Post’s Josh Rogin is rightly disgusted by what he’s seeing from NBC:
.@NBCNews both-sides approach to the Uyghur genocide:
“Western governments… allege… a systematic repression of Muslim Uyghurs"
“It has to be said that the Chinese government emphatically denies all of this. They say that accusations of genocide are the lie of the century.”
— Josh Rogin (@joshrogin) February 4, 2022
As China parades out minority groups it is oppressing, @NBC continues presenting it (misleadingly) as just a US concern:
“The Biden administration cited ongoing human rights abuses by the Chinese government against the Uyghurs… as the reason for the diplomatic boycott.”

I counted about 75 total Canadian athletes in their Opening Ceremony delegation, which would be less than half of Team Canada's #Beijing2022 roster.

About 50 of the 86 Olympic athletes from France walked in the #beijing2022 Opening Ceremony.

Before the ceremony, Rick Adams, the USOPC’s chief of sport performance, said 177 American athletes would march in the parade of nations — roughly 80 percent of the U.S. delegation, according to The Post's @barrysvrluga.
Exact count of those who actually walked still unlcear.

Contra NBC, you do not, in fact, gotta hear both sides. Not when one of those sides is a genocidal communist regime.

NBC should be ashamed. Our press should be exposing China's human rights abuses, not brushing them off. https://t.co/2n4qGDHp6D

Who do you think you are, NBC? The New York Times?
NBC last month: "We understand that there are some difficult issues regarding the host nation, so our coverage will provide perspective on China's place in the world and the geopolitical context in which these Games are being held."
This is what they meant? https://t.co/dVovshPyyT

Guess so.
Let us not forget that there are Muslim slaves in China as we speak. They are in concentration camps being beaten, starved, raped, and forced into sterilization.
This is sick and disgusting. One of our major networks are pushing Chinese Communist Party bull crap. #Olympics https://t.co/U6J7eE2Opu
