As Twitchy reported, NBC hacks are shamelessly fawning over Vladimir Putin during the Sochi Olympics coverage. The suck-uppery has been disgraceful and Garry Kasparov called out the network for its Putin “propaganda.”
An NBC affiliate continued the arse-kissing. NBC Connecticut’s Kevin Nathan squeed madly over being super close to Putin.

Duh. He was far too busy swooning, natch.
What's wrong with this picture: one of the richest, most powerful men in the world and me? #MrPutin #Sochi2014.
