Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's not just a matter of upsetting the government. People don't watch the Olympics for politics so I would have edited out the boos too despite having no love for Vance.
The Olympics is literally a competition between countries. Of fucking course it's political!
More to the point, coverage in other countries did not edit it out. This was uniquely American censorship/spin.
Americans shoehorned politics on everything.
But suddenly, when something can upset the egomaniac pedofile in charge, "not everything has to be about politics".
Go back to your hole, we don't like your kind here.
There was massive cheering when Ukraine entered. Would you have edited that too?
No, because I don't think cheering and booing are in the same category here.
Can you explain?
I don't expect that the cheering for Ukraine was due to their performance in sports.
If you remove booing because it is political, then political cheering should be in the exact same category.
The point is, that it is not up to the media to shape reality. Their job is to spread knowledge of it, as it is, not as they want it to be or as some want it to be
Thank you for your concern, but I have thick enough skin to handle some booing.
Everything is politics.
People don't watch the Olympics for politics, but this is news. They should cover it unless they are no longer unbiased.
