Tell HN: NBC quietly removes coverage of Kamila Valieva from YouTube channel
11 コメント
It’s front and center on their own page: https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/video/watch-rocs-kamila-va...
This version lacks the Johnny Weir / Tara Lipinski commentary and ends rather abruptly. The YouTube version was several minutes longer and showed Kamila being berated by her coach, screaming backstage that she hated the sport, etc.
Even the little that is shown from the end of the skate in this version appears to have been edited to minimize Kamila's reaction. For example, at the end of the skate, Kamila does a throw gesture in despair. The YouTube version made it obvious with a front and center closeup while this one sticks with a distant overhead camera. And around the time she started to really break down, they abruptly cut to scoring.
I'd really like to know why this was removed too. Was it pressure from Russia? The IOC? Hmmmm.

Interesting. It's still been removed from Youtube.
I am unaware of what the Valieva affair is, so I googled, this is just because she's been accused of doping? But from what I've seen the accusations haven't been upheld or something, what is causing her to be memory holed?
causing her to be memory holed
A single video changed from public to private does not a memory hole make.

Interesting.
But as another comment notes, it’s on NBC’s front page. Is another explanation possible? Do the now-hidden videos contain unlicensed material, for example?
It’s too bad that YouTube doesn’t let you leave an explanation for making a video private, to stave off conspiracy theories.

What are some other reasons a public video might be changed to private?

Networks are now as much censors as they are broadcasters. What they choose not to show (or redact) is just as important as what is shown in creating their viewpoint (narrative) of the world.
Because people are so dumb today and don't even understand the critical importance of having and displaying different opinions.
Now we want everyone to agree with us, because if they don't, we go into a tantrum.

I did a search in my history and sure enough, NBC has made the video private:

I find it incredible that they've removed this video from public consumption. The event happened, the coverage of the event happened, what could possibly justify removing the video, regardless of any proceeding events?
Edit:
Here is another that has been removed:
