Elon Musk, the owner of the social media platform X and a notable supporter of former President Donald Trump, attended the game between the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night. However, viewers watching on NBC were unaware of his presence as he was not shown during the broadcast. Many users on X pointed out this omission and compared it to how extensively NBC covered pop superstar Taylor Swift, who frequently attends Kansas City Chiefs games and has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. This week highlighted this contrast when ESPN aired a Monday Night Football game featuring the Chiefs, where cameras focused heavily on Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, those watching NBC witnessed an agonizing 20-17 loss for the Steelers against the Cowboys without any mention of Musk. The day before, Musk had made a notable appearance at Trump\u2019s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania\u2014site of an assassination attempt against Trump\u2014and wore a black &#8220;Make America Great Again&#8221; hat while addressing a large crowd. He chose to stay in town for the Steelers-Cowboys game that followed. During that game, images began circulating on X showing him at Acrisure Stadium wearing his &#8220;Dark MAGA&#8221; hat.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being present at one of football&#8217;s biggest events as one of its wealthiest figures\u2014Musk was completely ignored by NBC&#8217;s coverage while Taylor Swift received extensive airtime. Former Steelers player Antonio Brown criticized this censorship online by urging people to vote against such media bias.<\/p>\n<p>Many have questioned whether NBC intentionally avoided showing Musk during their broadcast while they repeatedly showcased Swift at other games. This discrepancy raises concerns about media bias in sports coverage; fans can now document these instances in real time thanks to platforms like X\u2014and as Brown suggested\u2014they can take action through voting<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2352234,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Musk-v-Swift.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[27372,32192,33457,7215,32394],"class_list":["post-2352233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-broadcasters","tag-elon-musk","tag-media-analysis","tag-nfl","tag-taylor-swift"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Musk-v-Swift.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2352233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2352233"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2352233\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2352234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2352233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2352233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2352233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
