YouTube, at the request of NTV, removed the story of “Rain” about a hero who was paid to participate in the program
video service The YouTube , at the request of NTV, removed an episode of the Fake News program about the TV channel paying money to the heroes of its stories. Dozhd TV presenter Maria Borzunova told Mediazona about this.
The journalist also published a screenshot of the deleted video. It says that the video “contains materials from partner NTV Broadcasting Company , which has blocked their display for copyright reasons.”
The 17th episode of the Fake News program told about the hero of the NTV program Nikolai Vershinin, who was going to buy a house on the Kuril island of Shikotan. Journalists found out that Vershinin had already acted on federal television in the programs “Let's Get Married” and “Let's Get Divorced.” In a conversation with a Dozhd correspondent, the NTV hero said that he is not going to move to the Kuril Islands for now, but is ready to talk about it in more detail again if Dozhd pays him money.
Borzunova said that the channel has now challenged the blocking by writing a letter to YouTube. You can watch the deleted episode on page . the journalist’s personal Facebook
