Oh, I think it's crystal clear why they removed that word

It's not crystal clear to me.

The word furthers their propaganda. Why would they delete it? Are they trying to be less deceiving?

I have to agree, I don’t understand why that word is so important. Please explain.

I am pretty sure they deleted it because of a lawyer that demanded they do so who was representing the victim. The fact that they did it means they feel there might be some culpability.

They’re covering their butts over at NBC because it is NOT discredited.

It is, in fact, very credited. And credible.

If Hillary gets called on it, and has to answer to it, and, indeed, has to lie about it, NBC looks stupid.

But beyond that, I went to Breitbart and apparently it’s also because Broaddrick’s lawyer threatened to sue:

“After receiving the legal letter, penned by Broaddrick’s attorney and son, Kevin L. Hickey, NBC removed the word “discredited” from the network’s Internet version of Mitchell’s video report, Broaddrick and Hickey told this reporter. However, NBC did not make any indication of the edit in the video or on the webpage that hosts it.”

The word was deleted because Broaderick threatened to sue for defamation. Mitchell's "discredited" was a reversal for Mitchell even! Quietly dealt with, the press does not want this to become a news item.

The press also quickly dismisses as "discredited" any suggestion that the Hawaii BC Obama offered was not authentic.
