Glastonbury Scandal

FREE 'WE TOLD YOU SO ABOUT BLAIR' T-SHIRT FOR EVERY READER
Daily Moan (spoof of Daily Mail)
Was the BBC's Glastonbury Coverage All A Bleedin' Fraud?

Far be it for us to moan about anything, but the BBC's recent Glastonbury coverage duped viewers into thinking that they were watching a live concert when in fact the concert had been recorded sometimes as little as 15 minutes earlier. But even though the concert footage was recorded, the naughty BBC still put the word LIVE in the top left hand corner to make themselves look all clever like...

The BBC committed this fraud repeatedly during the weekend with, in one instance, two members of the Kaiser Chiefs being interviewed on BBC3 and their concert footage was then introduced and showed with the LIVE sign in the top left hand corner. There should have been a warning, or an apology, but did the BBC do this? Did they heck as like.

This disgraceful waste of the license fee payers license fee occurred far too frequently for our liking over the weekend.

Kaiser Chiefs, Glastonbury 2007
BBC says it's live but this is a recording. Only seconds before this man was being interviewed in the BBC's studios.

...and while we're on the subject, why oh why oh why did many of the BBC commentators deliver their commentary to camera in wellies? It's just too disgraceful for words.
