Thanks for all the support, today was one of the most emotional days of my life. I miss my brother.

NBC reporter repeatedly badgering a teary-eyed #Bode Miller about his dead brother was a media low for the #Olympics

— TimKarr (@TimKarr) February 17, 2014

Wow, the thing that interviewer just did to Bode Miller was SUPER disgusting. #Olympics2014

— Linda Holmes (@nprmonkeysee) February 17, 2014

To @NBCOlympics how many Q's is appropriate to ask Olympian Bode Miller about his dead brother? #badform

I appreciate everyone sticking up for me. Please be gentle w christin cooper, it was crazy emotional and not all her fault. #heatofthemoment

— Bode Miller (@MillerBode) February 17, 2014

My emotions were very raw, she asked the questions that every interviewer would have, pushing is part of it, she wasnt trying to cause pain.

— Bode Miller (@MillerBode) February 17, 2014

#BodeMiller started being emotional and Christin Cooper went with him, that's not manipulation it's reporting
