Guest ryan04 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 just wondering ... gb is still in canada ... not in singapore, right? where do you get your information? why should we think gb is expert? what ??? well of my understanding gamesbids is run from Toronto, the IOC session is in Singapore, Gamesbids is a huge olmypic news website with forum, you can get most all of the gamesbids stories off any major news site, the guy running it has been doing sense 1990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenadian Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Newswires, reporters, insiders, people on the floor. Singapore is just a conference. The activities leading up to this event have been unfolding for about 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athens2004 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 ...moreover, some people here (and certainly not me) discuss about this issue continuously for four years! It's their hours now! We all have to respect their time and their opinions! Noone is expert. But some people know the subject to more details. We should respect their right to express themselves now that the bid process is almost over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadyForYou-2M12 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 ...moreover, some people here (and certainly not me) discuss about this issue continuously for four years!It's their hours now! We all have to respect their time and their opinions! Noone is expert. But some people know the subject to more details. We should respect their right to express themselves now that the bid process is almost over! But....and that's the important point... That (called) experts, only express their opinion (as they have also no insider-information)....and.... ...this opinion has exactly the same value, than the opinion of a new user with for example 1 post. Respect because long-term-user?....Why?.... Free Speech....Of course !!!....For all users And having doubst regarding Gamebids is more than justified.... In my opinion (that has to be respected, as well as I have to respect the opinion of others) its a very biassed information-source, and allthough based in Canada, it is clear positioned behind London and New York (in that order). Look for example the news "Is it Down to a Two-City Race?"... The example of perfect cheap propaganda.... At least the should correct the statement at the end of the article regarding "Madrid 2014".... The only thing that is still missing at Gamebids is a banner in big bold letters as: "Gamebids supports London-2012-bid - Please don't expect independent information". And that's...the f-uckin truth.... Regards.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOlympiadsW Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 funny you should say that....just a few months ago the London supporters believed the site was biased against them....I don't think the site is biased against anyone...it is just reporting the news....

mr.x Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 GamesBids.com started out as a Toronto 2008 information website. After Toronto's loss, the site was transformed into a Olympic Bid information site. It is located in Toronto. I remember the time there were the blackouts on the east oast, GamesBids.com was down for a day as its mega computer in Toronto was down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldmedalist Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 very sorry no offence meant. cnn is news site. espn is sports news site. gb is entertainment. not news. helps to be clear on things. rehashing everyone elses news does not make it a news site.

Kenadian Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 No, those channels are info-tainment. BBC has more credible news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
