If a US administration figure is booed at the Olympics, or a World Cup match, will American domestic broadcasts simply mute or avoid mentioning the crowd audio? If so, what happens when the world feed, or a foreign broadcaster, shows something else entirely? What happens when 40,000 phones in the stadium upload their own version in real time?

The real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden

Plus Israel has already violated the so-called "ceasefire" 1500+ times & the Americans are allowing it.

Theoretically the Rafah crossing is opened, but practically it is not. Very few are allowed to cross. Even then, "they are subjected to terrible questioning.. harassment.. even torture."
