...only downside to the Olympics so far has been that the games’ broadcaster, NBC, seems intent on spoiling the fun. Perhaps NBC should change the meaning of its acronym from National Broadcasting Company to Notoriously Bad Coverage, Nothing But Commercials or Never-ending Banal Chatter. Its coverage has been, in a word, awful, from out-of-place and uninformed comments to advertisements in obscene quantities...
...parlor. During busy shifts, it takes four or five bakers—all clad in the trademark white uniform—to keep hot pizza in supply. While stretching dough, making subs and serving customers, Noch’s pizzamakers maneuver adroitly to avoid collisions. There is little idle chatter.

But the war made viewers want news, not shouting...
...players involved denied any funny business, but that didn't stop the chatter. It doesn't take much to get people talking about Rove. He is the architect of Bush's two gubernatorial victories in Texas as well as his presidential race. He has also been the President's tutor, feeding him histories and biographies to read. Inside the White House he is at the center of every political and domestic policy decision. He helps determine where the President spends his political capital, and in an election year when both houses of Congress are up for grabs, he is watching...
