Here in the US, channels covering the medal counts just base it on total medals. So the chart would say, 1. US, 2. China, 3. Japan

That's because it'd place the Americans in first, and drop the UK down a couple places. But it's not how the official table is. This is the official medals table, from the official Olympics website:


Don't you think it'd be unfair is Slovakia was ranked on level with Kazakstan, for example? Your media outlet is wrong, they're just spinning it in their favour.

 

And a great day so far today, with a great match with the Tennis, 8-8!

You're wrong, Conegamer.

If that were the case then they would want China to be looking better based off the first few days. 

It's not because they want to make America look better, it's because they do it differently, just like we do everything else differently.
