Hulu, NBC Experience Glitches During Super Bowl Telecast (theverge.com)
Variety reports:
NBC's coverage of Super Bowl LII briefly went dark for nearly 30 seconds on Sunday night. NBC released a brief statement attributing the outage to an equipment failure... "We had a brief equipment failure that we quickly resolved," the statement read. "No game action or commercial time were missed." The outage happened during a commercial pause in the action between the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles.
And anonymous reader shared another story from The Verge: Hulu's live TV subscription service cut off the end of tonight's Super Bowl in some markets during the climactic final moments of the Eagles/Patriots game. Tom Brady was making a last-ditch push down the field in hopes of tying the 41-33 contest when Hulu customers lost all video and audio from NBC and U.S. Bank Stadium. Not everyone experienced the abrupt cutoff, which occurred at approximately 10:00PM ET. But those who did received an error screen before the game's conclusion. Error messages ranged from "no content available" to one that said the game couldn't be shown due to rights restrictions. Complaints immediately surged on Twitter and Reddit... In a tweet, the company said there had been "a technical issue" and said users could restart their Hulu app to restore the game feed.

Black screen buffering... death happen every half an hour even without Superbowl. Then in the middle of the game, NBC Roku app told me to install NBS Sports, which took time away from interesting moments and showed the rest of the game in blurry resolution AND with more buffering deaths. I don't understand why NFL can't find a more reliable streaming partner for Superbowl. ABC does not seem to have any of these problems.
There was no etc. Bu$hitler was the first president people reacted to in such an infantile, spittle flecked way. Obama was greatly disliked (he had his photo taken with Jew hater Louis Farrakhan so no wonder people didn't like him) but it simply did not rise to the level of Chimpy McBu$hitler and Donald "literally Hitler" Trump. There's no equivalence.
Shutting down free speech with violence isn't fighting fascism. It IS fascism!
This is wrong by any measure. Trump's approval ratings are competitive with Ford's, but (since we're talking about hate here) Trump's disapproval ratings are the highest ever measured at this point in his presidency. Though Bush 2 peaked quite a bit higher. Here.
That's only since we've been measuring approval/disapproval ratings though. Speculation is that Lincoln was really the most hated president, which makes sense if you think about it.
The hatred directed at Trump should surprise no one, he's basically a political shock jock. He got all of that publicity during the election by saying one outrageous thing after another - hate is what he runs on.
