The Comparison of Live Coverages between CCTV and AP
Live coverage cannot be censored. What the CCTV (the Communist
propaganda ministry of China) did was to "delay" the live coverage
itself. It was rather really sad not broadcasting the same "live"
coverage, however the people in China could easily notice even the CCTC
tried to hide the miserable situation.

The Olympic Torch of Shame - hide and seek in San Francisco
(April 9-2008, San Francisco. abc7, cbs5, kron4, nbc11, ktvu2) In an
historic show of nonviolent force, Tibetans and Tibet activists from
across North America were joined by tens of thousands of San Franciscans
to protest China's Olympic torch. Behind a massive banner reading "San
Francisco Says: No Torch in Tibet," thousands marched down the planned
torch relay route, forcing officials to change the route at the last
minute in an attempt to keep the enormous protests away from the torch.
At least two torchbearers publicly showed sup****t for Tibet during their
torch run, one displaying a Tibetan flag alongside the torch. Officials
were finally forced to cancel the closing ceremony. Tibetans and their
sup****ters finished the day by acknowledging the continued protests in
Tibet and celebrating the huge show of sup****t during visits by the
Olympic torch in London, Paris and San Francisco.
