The media is so incredibly negative just before every Olympics that I can remember, with almost exactly the same stories. Transport will not be able to handle it, airports will collapse, the facilities will not be ready in time, not enough people. For Sydney, Athens, Beijing and London, the media in the UK and Australia all did the same repeated boring stories.
It is no wonder that you and most people felt bad about it.
- rhizome 14y agoThe media is so incredibly negative just before every Olympics that I can remember, with almost exactly the same stories. That's because it's an editorial strategy to lead up with negativity before spending two weeks delighting their readers/viewer by describing how awesome it all is. You spotted it yourself: they don't even bother changing the stories.
