592: Taser Taser Taser!
Sochi Winter Olympics, RT Interview, and Media Narratives
The discussion turns to the Sochi Winter Olympics and the negative media coverage surrounding the event. A clip features an American female ski jumper being interviewed on RT (Russia Today), where she praises the organization and scenery of the games, seemingly unbriefed on the negative Western narrative. The hosts also discuss the "ratings bonanza" of human-interest stories, such as a snowboarder with a brother suffering from health issues.
