"Pentagon screwed up": Russian Olympic champion explained why Russians were banned from watching the Olympics and became a laughing stock online

Russian skier Veronika Stepanova, whose intelligence has been compared to that of a washing machine, made a sensational nonsense about RosTV's refusal to broadcast the Olympic Games in Paris due to low viewer interest. After this statement, the 23-year-old athlete came under a barrage of criticism and trolling.

"If the Olympics in Paris had any significance for Russians, then why did no one show it? Neither the beloved Match TV nor its competitors? The Beijing Olympics were shown with excellent ratings. Paris didn't. My version - because the absolute majority of our compatriots are not interested in the Olympics with "neutral athletes" selected by the IOC without a flag and anthem, they don't need them, especially now," Stepanova wrote in her Telegram channel.

Sports.ru readers were astonished by such a statement of the winner of the Beijing-2022 relay team. They reminded the young propagandist that in Russia only what is necessary for Putin's regime is shown on TV.

"The most powerful argument. Everyone knows that our TV shows only what the viewer wants to see", "How tired we are of propagandists who are responsible for the entire population of the country", "Stepanova is already fully prepared for her new position. For deputies, what is not shown on TV does not exist at all", "But we were shown the mayor of Paris bathing in the Seine. That's what Russians are really interested in!", "Maybe it's just because we Russians weren't even asked?", "That's why the broadcasts in VK broke all records. The Pentagon tweaked it, probably," they wrote in the comments.
