“Misogyny” is an overused and misused word, though. Not every difference between males and females, statistical averages etc. is about “misogyny.” To the politically correct left, if you notice any sex-related differences at all that is “misogynistic’.... unless ofc the leftists are explaining why some “women’s view” is superior to the male, then that is not anti-male (misanthropic?), it is merely the Gospel of the Progressive Mafia.
Turning the Olympics into the Rose Bowl Parade. Yay!
Why is it “misogyny” for a broadcaster to tailor its product to what it believes women prefer to see? Isn’t that like “pro-ogyny”? If preferences have changed while the broadcast has not, then that’s poor judgment (typical in a monopoly provider), still not “misogyny.”
The article seems to be the writer’s personal preference gussied up as some kind of “analysis.”
I knew the Olympics coverage had turned to crap in my lifetime! I haven’t watched much of it in decades, but I was sick-to-death of all the soap opera “narrative” crap and just wanted to watch great events and performances. I couldn’t stand a lot of the announcers and so have watched rather little of it in the past 30 years.
NBC is going to take a big hit in the ratings for the Rio Olympics. It couldn’t happen to a more deserving network.
And the article didn't even mention the story I heard that NBC wanted the countries' athletes to enter in English alphabetical order so the US would be near the end at U rather than early with E to keep the American audience watching for a longer time. As it was, the opening ceremony was bad, but would have been unwatchable without the DVR fast forward button.

It remains to be seen if I will tune in at all. If I do it will be because of Freepers posting about it stirring my curiosity. I’d rather see live images of Rio than the olympics, but the way it sounds I’ll be tuning into a live broadcast of “Cops: Brasil”
Nobody challenging this:
“The United States most likely will elect a female president (RCP Averages say so).” Well, if THEY say so...
Its misogyny to tailor a product for women when women consume that product? I guess makeup ads should strictly market to men then and pickup truck ads should market to women.
I could go for a sandwich and a massagoney right about now.
Hey, you, in the kitchen....
I would like to know what the heck Google is showing today on their home page. Obviously a reference to the olympics but what the heck does that mean. Black and brown participants, one carrying another. Opinions anyone?
Gaby Douglas gets screwed out of a chance for a medal because only 2 from one country are allowed to advance to the final. She was third overall, top 3 all Americans, and she’s out.
Unfair!!!! Attica!!!! Attica!!!!!
