Out of the Blue - Blue's News Story

We've been enjoying some of the Olympic Games here in the BlueTower. But this time around shows just how aggressive the 24 hour news cycle has become. It's very difficult to watch the prime time coverage on a delay from France without knowing the results in advance. Without seeking them out, I probably see four or five notifications of the outcomes in real time as they happen. We've actually ended up watching some contests while knowing the outcome in advance, so I guess this doesn't ruin things completely, but putting such emphasis on the outcomes before people get to watch the competitions certainly doesn't live up to the old "it's how you play the game" saying.
