Use United States anti-trust laws to crack down on NBC's monopoly on Olympics coverage

Created by N.O. on July 30, 2012

NBC is using it's monopoly on Olympics coverage to:
- Not provide adequate coverage
- Filter out huge portions of what coverage it does provide (for instance a terrorism victim memorial) based on shoddy excuses ("it wasn't about America")
- Not provide quality assurance for it's coverage - allowing it's broadcasters to insult other countries (Bob Costas introduced Australia as a penal colony, and Madagascar was pretty much only considered "good" by their broadcasters for being the subject of movies of the same name).

This is not only an insult to other countries (all games not involving the United States are just plain not covered, as well as the insults above), but is an insult to us Americans. NBC needs to be stopped.
