State media obsessed with Olympic Gold medals says BBC

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-19102827 Yes, you’d think the BBC was talking about itself: the constant re-runs; the gushy slo-mos; the roaring crowds outside the BBC portakabin in the Olympic Park; the squirming commentators and anchors declaring that so and so’s gold medal win was the most momentous day of their lives. The graphics; the 60 second news, the main news and the front page of the BBC’s website; a humiliated John McEnroe mowing the hand of the studio Big Ben to signify another gold gong. Everything is devoted to the Gold. But, no, the article refers to China of course.
