All we want is good knowledgeable commentary. If there was a contest for the "Worst coverage of the Games", India would take Gold,Silver and Bronze no doubt.

amazing write-up, the thread demands more attention. we've all learnt how to hate the 'aryan' supremacy, may be there's something left for us to unlearn also.

Jesse Owens and Hilter

How much shocking it is to learn now that Hitler was unkindly projected for his arrogant Aryan attitude and despise to blacks, based on this Jesse Owen incident in 1936. Now we start wondering whether Hitler was made a monster by others than what he really was. I wonder why Jessy Owens kept quiet all the while until 1970; but wonder how still media still on day quotes the same Hitler abhoring the blacks even today. This is another case of History being distorted like in many cases.

Oh c'mon - Jesse was just trying to say FDR was worse than Hitler. Hitler did roast a million jews and caused untold miseries. the funny thing is that Hitler was a strategist who never at personal level dirtied his hands.

Of course - in today's America , no politician - even a guy like George Bush - will want to be seen to seen as racist. We say Republicans are racists - but it was Bush who gave two blacks - Powell and Rice - two of the senior most jobs in America. Rice also happens to his favorite adviser - almost at family level.

Hitler was a clean man unlike what western media portray him. Anyone needing a bit of education can ask me. unfortunately this section does not allow to give you link to to the web site where all the material facts are reported. Juts type "The Leuchter Report" in google and read. You will know who did what and how far can people go to tell lies and cover it up.

Adil Nasir,
Google will give you articles justifying anything. Rather than wasting your time googling, I would advise you to visit the documentation center at Nuremburg where the Nazi history is documented. Many of the methods which the Nazis used came to light during the Nuremburg trials where Nazis themselves described their methods.
There is no doubt that Hitler was a racist and mass murderer. No person in the right mind will support what Hitler did. People denying Holocaust ever happened have their own political agendas.

The Germans themselves despise him. Hitler was a mass murderer. And there is no excuse for that.

The tailpiece is sadly very true. We vainly expected a good coverage of beijing olympics..

I needed to add one more horrible episode. The medal awarding ceremony was abruptly cut for the anchors to go on talking
