Apology after Olympic feud
NBC was quick to cut ties with analyst Joshua Cooper Ramo, a protege of Henry Kissinger after he said every Korean holds up Japan as an inspiring “example” during the opening ceremonies broadcast.

Critics were irritated. They noted the horrors of the Japanese occupation of the Korean peninsula from 1910 to 1945, including the Japanese army enslaving Korean females as comfort women for their troops. NBC quickly apologized. Anchor Carolyn Manno read a formal apology on NBCSN:

“During our coverage of the Parade of Nations on Friday we said it was notable that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made the trip to Korea for the Olympics, ‘representing Japan, a country which occupied Korea from 1910 to 1945 but every Korean will tell you that Japan is a cultural, technological and economic example that has been so important to their own transformation.’ We understand the Korean people were insulted by these comments and we apologize.”
