well, it isn't that...

See, team GB doesn't have THAT many athletes, yet the whole olympics are always covered in the UK, regardless of who is competing and whatever sport. And if you look at the pundits, most are, shock-horror, from the US.

Now cause the US have people in everything, you get to see nothing of anyone else but cameras just focused on the few...gives a totally crap version to watch for the unbiased and neutral spectator. Then they will repeat, and repeat and repeat an event, when there could be something people could be watching.

Just a nice, general observation!

What about BBC coverage? Are they doing something?

This review made me laugh to the point of tears.

http://blog.jeffascoug​h.com …s-5d-mark-iii-review.html (external link)

Here's a quote:

I have used a pair of 5D Mark II’s since launch date in 2008 and I had a pre-production camera before that. It is small, light, well-built and has the best files from any camera. Period.

:lol::lol::lol:

Always, and you can watch anything online with them only if you are in the UK - due to contractual rights - so I am stuck with NBC... or the likes.

You're so biased Harm. Don't you know the world revolves around the US? :rolleyes:

But honestly it makes sense, why would try be neutral? The Olympics are about coming together as a nation over sports, so that's what everyone wants to see is their nations athletes.

The Cardinals were one of the first teams talking about Peyton.
