We're now several days into the 2012 Olympic games, and one controversy has emerged above others: Not a doping scandal, not a fight between two opposing nations' teams. It's the coverage of the games itself.
All over Twitter, especially -- but really, everywhere -- people have been complaining about NBC's handling of the games.
Here to talk with us about it in today's Mid-day Extra is Matt Wells, blogs and networks editor at the Guardian.
Well NBC is blowing it big time with the coverage and spoilers, but also listening to WNYC the last couple days on the way home has ruined a few events for me as well. Please NPR/WNYC, announce that you are about to talk about events that are going to be in prime time coverage later in the day!
