I have showdead set to yes, and while so some articles get a gray color and an occasionally [flagged] tag, everything is still searchable[0]. The only form of censorship is the ordering in the news list, but I could pick any other list[1] if I wanted to.

Something potentially happening elsewhere doesn't invalidate it being pointed out. In fact if Von der Leyen got booed in China and a Geeman broadcaster muted it, I would also like to know what was ommited.
That being said, I'm in the US and I heard boos on the delayed broadcast.

It feels like people inventing this story, farming for followers on socials by manufacturing outrage. And a close read of the article will uncover that it was denied by the networks.
This needs a deeper dig before opinions be formed - especially given the vehement denials of manipulation by the broadcasters.
But until then, citation needed.
More anti-American propaganda on HN. Why does this keep happening? This is not news, nor is it relevant for HN.
But feel free to elaborate why you feel wanting the US population to be able to see how their political leadership is perceived elsewhere is "anti-US" — cause I would describe it as the exact opposite.

Will they? Possibly a portion of them, but I doubt they'll be the majority.
