Seemingly it did go well. I avoided the whole thing like the plague
and so I am going by what being declared on the radio by various
commentators who have forgotten the difference between a journalist
and a cheer leader.

And why shouldn't they? It's only for UK consumption, other counties
send
their own commentators to report the games to their country.

To quote several Hollywood Westerns of the 1950s: "If you don't know, I
can't tell you."

Oh yeah, and that wins the argument - not!
This issue is a matter of option, not of fact and simply refusing to state
the basis of your opinion IMHO means "you lose"

If you pay a little attention, you may notice that neither of us has made an
argument. (I'm assuming you do know what an argument is).
The point of the quoted passage was - and this is why I'm not willing to waste
time making an argument - if a person is so obtuse, decadent or depraved
that they "don't get" an obvious principle, explaining that principle to them
won't do any good.
If you don't understand why a journalist, whose job it is to report news objectively
and without bias, should not reduce him or herself to a mere cheer leader, giving a
totally slanted view of events, then it is pointless trying to educate you.
