During the Olympics, a Lithuanian journalist named D. Mason participated in a live segment for the channel’s program 'Today.' Viewers noticed that Mason struggled to form coherent sentences and appeared disoriented, initially discussing random topics such as coffee prices in the U.S. and iguanas. This unusual shift in conversation raised eyebrows, as it deviated significantly from the expected coverage of the Olympic games.

As the broadcast proceeded, Mason attempted to steer the conversation toward sports, but she continued to make blunders, confusing country names and mispronouncing athletes' names. The segment took an even stranger turn when she was filmed creating snow angels, a clip that later circulated on the channel's social media but was subsequently deleted. This behavior sparked widespread concern and criticism, with viewers questioning her professionalism on a global stage.

In a bid to mitigate the criticism, the hosts of the 'Today' program subtly addressed the temperature challenges they faced, suggesting that the extreme cold could be a factor influencing Mason's performance. However, the incident has raised serious questions about the protocols in place for journalists covering major international events, particularly regarding their conduct and whether adequate support is provided to ensure they remain coherent and professional during broadcasts.
