Outrage flows over NBC coverage

Posted by Ron Judd


Well, I guess that nerve has been touched.

Since my column about NBC's refusal to explain its delayed coverage was posted on our Web site last night, I've been inundated with emails and cc:'s of complaints to NBC Universal. I mean inundated in a good way.

It is by far the largest response to any column I've ever filed from the Olympics.

I'm not going to sit here and say it'll make NBC change its tune. But believe me: That sort of critical mass does make a difference to a media company. It sure would to ours, anyway.

So, keep at it. I've been told numerous Facebook pages and Twitter groups have formed to help keep the issue in the public eye. One of them is here. Feel free to add your own groups in the comments section.

Update: Here's another one.
