Don't tick off NBC. That's what journalist for The Independent Guy Adams learned over the weekend when he took the network to task for tape delaying the games for prime time.
Said one tweet: "Am I alone in wondering why NBColympics think its [sic] acceptable to pretend this road race is being broadcast live?"
He also went on to mock anchor Matt Lauer as well as tweet the e-mail address of Gary Zenkel, the president of NBC Olympics and urged his followers to contact the exec directly.
Soon after, Adams found this message when he logged on to his account: "Your Twitter account has been suspended for posting an individual's private information such as private email address." More details found HERE.
