As someone who have to work the whole day and missing most of
the live telecast of the Olympic games, I looke forward to the
nightly Channel 5 "Today in Beijing" for the daily roundup of
the Olympics. But so far it has been a disappointment.
I find Jade Seah and Mark Richmond very awkward as commentators and
the snippets of the games shown were too short.
And for tonight's programme (Friday, Aug 15), noticed that
quarter finals of most games were featured, but badminton
semi-finals were not mentioned at all. Badminton is a popular
sports in this part of the world, so am surprised it was not
featured at all. Could it be Channel 5 was biased because a
certain Malaysian player who beat Susilo in the first round was in
the semi-final and now going to the final match?
