Bee-otched For: making the 2012 Summer Olympics suck even worse
---
Oddly enough, this week, NBC got back into the hourly news business.
The top-of-the-hour news blurbs aired for many years on the original NBC Radio Network and afterward on Westwood One. At the stroke of midnight on April 1st, NBC Radio News reappeared on many former CNN Radio affiliates.
There's no NBC Radio affiliates in Grand Rapids, but WGLM/M106.3 out of Lakeview does air the hourly newscasts. One of the newscasters is the lovely Veronica De La Cruz, who has been a champion for better healthcare for all Americans, especially after her brother Eric died from heart failure caused in part due to his insurance company refusing to pay for treatments due to a pre-existing condition.
But as much as I like, no LOVE Veronica and the fact that NBC has some great folks like Ed Schultz and Rachel Maddow, goddamn are they idiots.
On Tuesday, the Peacock net had Sarah Palin co-host the Today show while Ann Curry was on vacation. As usual, there was a ton of criticism for the ex-Alaskan governor's botched performance during the show, even from Jon Stewart and The Daily Show. But a day later, NBC proved that they were kicking themselves in the ass.
Ryan Seacrest appeared on the show a day later (he was supposed to appear on the Palin show on Tuesday, but backed out due to illness) and announced that he had signed a deal with NBCUniversal to appear on their shows, including being the host of the network's coverage of the 2012 Olympics.
Now, for years, NBC has gotten some pretty negative reactions for their Olympic coverage, especially since they tend to tape-delay some of their most-important events to the evening due to ratings reasons. But Ryan Seacrest hosting them? BARF!
Ya know, Chuckamaniacs, I found a website that streams live sporting events around the world. Hell, I watched WRESTLEMANIA FOR FREE on Sunday thanks to this particular site! I think I'll use this site to surpass NBC and Tinker Bell's lousy coverage of what should be one of the most-enjoyable events on television.
Plus, doesn't Seacrest already host 80 other shows? Doesn't he sleep? Christ, it's sad that he already works for Clear Channel, which is paying his ass $60 million while the company keeps laying off DJ after DJ since they're over $20 billion in debt. Sadly, the world would be a better one without him.
I know I can be cruel, but maybe this Olympics could use a bomber.
