Agreed—I've watched many events, shown in their entirety, where the US (and often Canada) were not even factors. E.g. just recently I've seen multiple biathlon and cross country skiing events where Europeans dominate. There's cursory mention of an American back in 20th or so, but for the most part the coverage is focused on leaders. And these are long races too. It sounds like the author was just mad that the US-Canada hockey game was pushed to MSNBC. I would have loved to have seen that game in HD on the main NBC, but that's a long way from the coverage being "broken".
