While watching the first round of 110 hurdles on CCTV1, (unfortunately Liu Xiang gave up the match because of the sprained ankle), I notice that the background of anchorperson in the live broadcasting studio of CCTV1 is Tiananmen Gate!
Sorry, I hadn't noticed this as I hardly watched any live broadcasting programmes. Isn't this a blatant sign of ideology being re-inscribed into the Olympic Games, which is supposed to be neutral? The choice is so awful that it completely goes against the slogan 'New Beijing, New Olympics' presented by BOCOG. Well, probably CCTV is discreetly ultra-conservative.
If CCTV thinks that the Tiananmen Gate embodies the spirit of the Beijing Olympics Games, instead of the Bird's Nest, it's seriously problematic and offensive to everyone who loves the Games.
