Did NBC Alter the Olympics' Opening Ceremony?

Viewing the 2008 Olympics opening ceremony online at NBC's Olympics website, you can see that the order in which the countries were presented was very different from the actual order of the countries in the ceremony, as listed at Wikipedia. NBC skipped roughly 100 countries ahead, then jumped back and forth, apparently delaying the appearance of the United States in its home market until later in the broadcast. (In fact, the US team was shown on the infield before they were shown marching!) NBC did not acknowledge this in its broadcast. Is NBC altering the reality of the broadcast to boost ratings? Was this true only online, or also in the live broadcast?

It may backfire for them to be so closely associated with footage that makes people s flesh crawl, Mr. Friedman said.

As Gore Looks to Future, Networks Stuck in Everyday Politics

While his solutions were politically difficult (to say the least), Gore talked about what could be done on global warming -- a message that was almost completely lost on the big three's evening news programs last night. While Gore looked to the future, CBS, NBC and ABC -- and consequently their 25 million or so viewers -- were stuck in the petty politics and flashy sound bites of the present.
