now people are asking whether NBC should have “done more” to tell viewers that the footprints were fake.

As Folkenflik notes, NBC anchor Matt Lauer wasn’t exactly specific or particularly aggressive in making sure viewers understood that some of the images fed to them by the Chinese Olympics organizers via the network’s coverage were digitally manufactured.the Beijing Times later revealed the extent of the fakery.

NOW NBC HAS TO BE “AGGRESSIVE” WITH THIS? i think i’m actually angry about it. all this nonsense is for the people who need to save face because they ran their mouth while not paying any attention.
