More (negative) reactions to Live8 coverage

PRINT| E-MAIL|MORE

Both the Chicago Tribune's Mark Caro and e-buddy of mine Pete Vonder Haar have issues (that's putting it extraordinarily mildly) with MTV's highlights program of Live 8. Both especially take issue with the coverage of the Pink Floyd performance, which MTV apparently interrupted halfway through in order to comment on the historical nature of the reunion instead of just letting the music speak for itself. Some common complaints:

  • Too many commercials
  • MTV talking heads need to shut up and listen to the music.
  • The network needs to stop promoting itself.
