Well the "no censorship!"-crowd in rhe US has been strangly focused on the censorship of racists, bigots and nazis. I don't think they consider censorship that benefits the Neo-feudalist lords as censorship.

So, due to US ideological propaganda, US media censored the part where the British do their ideological propaganda bit?

Well, at least the censorship was not paid by tax payer money… unlike the propaganda bit by the British, that was fully paid by taxpayer money.

No kidding

Care to elaborate?

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.

Europe doesn’t bill itself as “the land of the free” and doesn’t proudly tout itself as having free speech above all else no matter the cost.

"Your head is on fire!"

"So other heads are also flamable. Do you think your head isn't?"

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.

Short term gain for long term loss

as I unterstand the boos were blotted out only on the NBC broadcast, did you watch it on NBC?

Oddly I watched it live on the Eurosport broadcast and didn’t hear any noticeable booing

it was his Oscar for Bowling for Columbine

Americans know their leadership isn't popular everywhere, especially when leadership of other governments disagrees with them on increasingly more issues (UK and French censorship being one of them, ironically).

Seeing the 100th "U.S. government bad - please believe us this time" story from yet another activist-masquerading-as-journalist from The Guardian (UK) ending up on a website for tech stuff is the real travesty here.
