Are News Stations 'Disappearing' their Own Coverage of Tesla Takedown Protests?? [1]

So I had posted yesterday about the Sacramento Tesla Takedown event on Saturday 3/22 and noted that 3 local TV news stations did good news stories about the protests on their evening news. I recorded all 3 news programs and watched the stories, and checked online to find and share the stories.
However the news stories didn’t show up on their websites, or in a Google search. As of publication of this post, that is still the case. I emailed both KCRA3 and Fox40 to ask for the link to the story, but they did not respond.
KCRA3 Lost Video
CBS13 Lost Video
Fox40 Lost Video
I hate to sound paranoid, but it sure seems like this is not a coincidence, maybe they’re hiding these videos on purpose?
Then I remembered a similar incident last week where I was watching MSNBC’s The Beat with Ari Melber, and he had a great story about the Tesla Takedown protests. I wanted to share the story, but couldn’t find it online. I did find the full episode on YouTube, but that segment towards the end of the episode was just gone — it was covered up with a strange video of a girl drawing for about 15 minutes.
That episode was on March 17th, and now that I’m looking for it it appears to be removed from YouTube entirely. But I did comment on it, asking what happened to the end of the episode? Here’s all I can find of that now:
I did some more searching and I found the clip from Ari Melber on Instagram: www.instagram.com/…
The only copy of the MSNBC clip that I could find — watch before it’s taken down too!
I also found part of the clip where he interviewed Elizabeth Jenkins on a TikTok video and Facebook. But that’s about it.
I’m getting this strange feeling that news companies are trying to keep these videos off the normal internet for some reason. Possibly afraid of Getting sued by Musk?
Anyway any feedback is appreciated. And if you can find the missing local news videos please let me know!! I’m thinking of contacting the local paper about this, but want to get feedback from all the smart people here first. Thanks!
