Amidst all of the hysteria around the Valieva affair I was interested in watching a clip that NBC Sports had posted on their Youtube channel of Valieva landing the first ever quad jump in Olympic competition, which supposedly is a seminal event in figure skating history. I remember having watched it but for the life of my could not find it again.<p>I did a search in my history and sure enough, NBC has made the video private:<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hda3vvmqQHQ
https://web.archive.org/web/20220207105125/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hda3vvmqQHQ&t=198s<p>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?<p>Edit:<p>Here is another that has been removed:<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVpjFdf5l8c<p>https://web.archive.org/web/20220206082140/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVpjFdf5l8c
It’s front and center on their own page: <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/video/watch-rocs-kamila-valieva-become-first-woman-land-quad-olympics" rel="nofollow">https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/video/watch-rocs-kamila-va...</a>
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?
From a local NBC affiliate: <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wGwRCSPucwk" rel="nofollow">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wGwRCSPucwk</a><p>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.
