LIVE 8: SOMEONE ADMITS MISTAKES WERE MADE

It's pretty unusual to see an admission of a screw-up in any of the Live 8 coverage, but at least MTV has had the balls to admit that it dropped the ball with its coverage last weekend. Amongst the actions which left American viewers bemused and angry was the decision by the network to cut away to a honing VJ midway through the Pink Floyd reunion; in a bid to try and make up for it, MTV and VH1 in the US are going to rerun great chunks of the music this weekend.

Of course, this weekend is way, way too late.
