What if China had an Olympics and nobody watched? by Alex Berenson – SubStack
GNN Note – Proud to report we have not watched one single minute of the Olympics and don’t plan on watching any of it. If we hear reports there closing ceremony has something interesting to see, we may watch a few days afterwards, otherwise, we are not planning on watching any of it. / END

Of course, the American media frosts this (bat) guano Olympic cake with a layer of woke falseness.(True story: the preferred new phrase in Hollywood is “black joy,” which apparently means that if the story includes African-Americans – and it better! – it should be positive, redemptive, or positively redemptive. Guess The Wire is out.)
These Xi-lympix are to actual sports as an honest investigation of the lab leak theory is to actual science. But with more diaper ads.
And so no one should be surprised that the ratings are likely to be low. How low? Brian Stelter low? Okay, that’s impossible. But at this point NBC would probably be happy if the ratings got close to an average WWE episode.
You can lie to people forever, but eventually they’re just going to turn you off. That’s still allowed. For now.
