NBC cut a moving five-minute memorial tribute out of its US telecast of the Olympic ceremonies.

motherjones:

Reportedly to show a Ryan Seacrest studio interview with swimmer Michael Phelps.

A new low in television, sports, and humanity.

Watch what NBC/Comcast didn’t feel like showing you here.

(Producer Matthew points out that Deadspin’s post, linked above, may have misidentified the aim of the memorial. But not its power, or its omission from the NBC telecast. More on the moving memorial hymn’s singer here.)
