OK I'll clear this a bit up.
I don't think it's because the american media is purposly ignoring this interview, but because of the copyright laws.
The usage rights for this interview belong to a also german subsidiary company of this german public tv channel.
German companies are ridicoulously strict and butthurt on these things, as soon as someone will upload or try to use their material, the immediatly intervene and block the shit out of it.
You've probably heard that like 50% of the youtube videos, especially music, are blocked in Germany? Yes, it's exactly because of that.
So it's been taken down from everywhere, NOT because of some guy sitting in Washington , but because someone in Germany.
You can still find it on Youtube, although only on the channel of the german tv channel, and because of geoblocking it is only viewable in Germany.
Basically nobody outside of german soil is being able to see or use the interview.
There's also a major discussion in Germany about how the hell this is possible with something as important to the public as this Snowden interview, since it is the purpose to reach as many people as possible.
The whole documentation is to be released of 5th of May (lol).
