That’s because viewers in the US drowned out the boos with their own lol.

Also yes editing live broadcasts for propaganda purposes super bad.

NBC said they didn’t do anything. I was watching something online which was specifically supposed to be showing the booing but I couldn’t hear it either. It was obviously there because there’s been so much about it, maybe it was about where the mics were.

Whostosay@sh.itjust.works on 08 Feb 10:22 next collapse

They commentators mentioned it as it was happening too. Likely not nbcs, but the video I saw they did

TheMcG@lemmy.ca on 08 Feb 14:37 collapse

That was probably cbc. Their reaction has been shared a lot.

brucethemoose@lemmy.world on 08 Feb 19:15 collapse

It was quiet on feeds. I could hear it on headphones, but on tinny built-in speakers you probably couldn’t.

It didn’t feel like a particularly malicious edit to me, though. The commentators were obviously avoiding politics, perhaps under order, so not bringing it up is consistent.

My country is trash.

I wish the red coats could come and save us

Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca on 08 Feb 16:06 next collapse

The red coats are the monarchists, that’s what Trump’s wants to be, you need a revolution from your government with well regulated militias of social Democrats to fight the Nazis in power.

Whatever I just want to be like Europe. The US is a shit hole

Unfortunately your shithole and the Eurasian shithole known as Russia are both working hard to turn Europe into another shithole, and it’s fucking working too…

Yeah, as much as I’m situationally on my own country’s side right now, I probably would have been a Patriot.

Doctors Without Borders?

D_C@sh.itjust.works on 08 Feb 14:31 next collapse

The most important thing is that he heard it.
Yeah, ok, he has no shame but even the shameless don’t like the idea of strangers just booing them for being there.

porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml on 08 Feb 14:37 next collapse

No, he won’t respond to any shame he feels except by doubling down. IMO It’s much more important for ordinary people in the us to know.

Biffsbraincell@lemmy.zip on 08 Feb 15:08 next collapse

Yeah but instead of “I’m bad” he will just be like “everyone at the Olympics was a piece of shit”

Rekorse@sh.itjust.works on 08 Feb 15:34 collapse

I’m a huge fan of booing for exactly the reason you said. Sometimes I do it solo at work when someone does something really ridiculous. I feel like this world cup series in America could get kinda wild and no ones really considering it.

DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world on 08 Feb 16:22 next collapse

Trump said, “He doesn’t get booed in the U.S.”

LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world on 08 Feb 16:28 next collapse

Politicians: their cushy salaries keep them oblivious & indifferent to anyone’s negative opinions.

I would like to give a sincere thank you to the rest of the world for reminding the assistant manager of the “free” world what freedom is supposed to sound like.

Formfiller@lemmy.world on 08 Feb 19:14 next collapse

Does anyone have a link where we can listen to Vance and Israel being booed?

lazynooblet@lazysoci.al on 08 Feb 20:36 collapse

It’s not as great as the news is making it out. Yes there are some boos in the midst of cheers and whistles, but it’s mild.

I’ve watched a handful of videos now and I really don’t hear a significant amount of boos

tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip on 08 Feb 21:37 collapse

Yeah I was expecting like when the orange pedo went to that football game a few months ago, with resounding boos from the entire crowd.

akmur@lemmy.world on 08 Feb 19:44 next collapse

also except for viewers in italy

disco_jimmy@lemmy.world on 08 Feb 21:30 next collapse

I’d like to go one day without reading or hearing about that fucking country.

lechekaflan@lemmy.world on 08 Feb 21:55 next collapse

Unfortunately, as much as I want to avoid it, almost everything including the world economy, is so heavily tied to that country.

PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world on 08 Feb 21:59 next collapse

Try living in that fucking country your entire life

North Korea, China, Russia does the same with their leaders … this is what is America now.
