> The real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden

Kinda daft not to assume this has been the case for a long time already

I’m a viewer in the USA and I heard the boos. They didn’t sound edited out. What did I do wrong?

my question is more technical: how did the blot out the booing? and: how live was it in the US? from the Academy Awards we know that they have a 5s delay (following the Michael Moore incident), but what is it with olympics broadcast?

Looks like Americans are adopting Chinese censorship methods. You won't see it thus it never happened.
