Vote: Why Doesn't Our News Media Cover the Winter Olympics in Torino?

As any good citizen, I don't watch news channels (especially the Lebanese ones) unless I am extremely bored or have to because someone else is watching it (usually older than me). Instead I am watching, when I can, the winter Olympics now being held in Torino, Italy since the 10th of February. And watching it is fun; I should write about the feelings that come through while doing that, but this is not the entry to do that.
As I browse our local newspaper we daily buy: Al-Thawra, I open the sports page and try to look for Olympic news, but in vain!!! No Olympic news??? What the hell is going on? I am not sure about the rest of the papers, but online at least, Teshreen has not covered a single thing too. I couldn't log on to Al-Baath, but the SANA news agency reported a shy piece of news about two Germans winning the Biathlon. Not even the TV website had any mention of something called winter Olympics.
I thought of what could be the reason for such a thing and came up with some explanations, I hope some of you know the answer already, or at least vote to pick one choice:

1- Israel is participating, so for political reasons we would not cover (but we cover their political news!!)
2- Denmark is participating and due to the recent boycott on it no sport coverage exist
3- These media agencies do not have internet access to look up news and results
4- They don't know that Olympic games are going on now
5- The sports page editors are assholes
6- The agencies do not have TV/satellite channels to watch and report based on them
7- People have TV/satellite and do not need a dedication of a column in the sports page to Olympics
8- Covering news of Al-7asakeh women volleyball, Tartous football team and Idleb's blue collar chess tournament is more important
9- The sports page editor broke his knee once during skating, thus his hatred towards winter sports
10- We are not participating, so no need to report their news (but we also do not participate in NBA (حاشا) but they report their results)
11- Syrians do not understand winter sport (as the only winter sport we participate in is trying to get warm) so there is no need to cover something vague
12- The political situation between Syria and Lebanon, and the international pressure and variable factors compromising the Syrian integrity and freedom, in addition to the continuous local threat of fundamentalists and the situation in Iraq is not in favor of covering the Olympics
13- Waleed Junblat likes winter Olympics, so we shouldn't
14- Winter Olympics official are Jews
15- The Olympic logo has a hidden meaning calling all nations to suppress Arab regimes and support the rule of the Jewish state
16- Olympics were created by the same people who killed Zenobyaj, thus the historical hatred
17- The local media is fucked up the ass
18- Rami Makhlouf has the sole right of publishing anything about the Olympics
19- A Danish company is sponsoring the Olympics and thus is boycotted
20- There is a Lebanese female participating in the games
21- The ostrich rule of Syrian media: if it isn't reported, it didn't happen (another way of burying the head in the sand)
22- Italy does not report any of our local sports events, so why should we report their Olympics.
