CNN Doesn’t Include Spoiler Alert In Tweets, Twitter Users Say It Ruined Olympics:


Unfortunately for them, CNN has already spoiled the results.

No, let’s have a little perspective here.

The event happened. CNN reported it.

That NBC chose to delay broadcasting it to maximize entertainment value (and advertising value) is not CNN’s fault. It is not CNN’s job to not report news because some other network decided to not report the news.

This is NBC’s problem. Period.

Oh, and by the way, CBC showed it live. which is why we’re watching CBC and haven’t touched NBC since the Olympics started.
