| BBC mistakes cab driver for IT-expert - 102 sec A computer expert has described his astonishment at seeing the BBC's 24-hour news channel interview a taxi driver - in the mistaken belief it was him.
Guy Kewney - a white, bearded technology expert - was astonished to see himself appear on screen as a black man with an apparent French accent. He was even more shocked to see himself unable to answer basic questions about the legal battle between the Beatles' Apple Corps and Apple Computer over the use of an apple symbol.
Mr Kewney, an IT journalist and founder of newswireless.net, watched as the cabbie, who has not been named, gamely attempted to answer questions fired at him by BBC consumer affairs correspondent Karen Bowerman.
The man, who had been waiting for his fare in the reception of Television Centre, found himself being ushered into a studio and fitted with a microphone after raising his hand when a producer called out the name Guy Kewney.
On his website, the real Mr Kewney, said that the man "seemed as baffled as I felt" when asked about the consequences of the lawsuit live on BBC News 24.
It is unclear why the driver identified himself when Mr Kewney's named was called but it is thought he had been waiting to pick the computer expert up.
Only when Ms Bowerman announced live on air the name and title of the man who should have been there and asked the first question did the driver realise there had been a mix-up.
A BBC spokeswoman said: "Unfortunately we did make a mistake and the wrong person was interviewed briefly on air before we cut to our reporter.
"We apologise to viewers for any confusion."

| BBC Reports Live that WTC7 has fallen, yet it still stands - 234 sec BBC's public response on Wed 2/28:
LINK: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theeditors/2007/02/part_of_the_conspiracy.html
www.STOPROSIEENDAMERICA.com
1. We're not part of a conspiracy. Nobody told us what to say or do on September 11th. We didn't get told in advance that buildings were going to fall down. We didn't receive press releases or scripts in advance of events happening.
2. In the chaos and confusion of the day, I'm quite sure we said things which turned out to be untrue or inaccurate - but at the time were based on the best information we had. We did what we always did - sourced our reports, used qualifying words like "apparently" or "it's reported" or "we're hearing" and constantly tried to check and double check the information we were receiving.
3. Our reporter Jane Standley was in New York on the day of the attacks, and like everyone who was there, has the events seared on her mind. I've spoken to her today and unsurprisingly, she doesn't remember minute-by-minute what she said or did - like everybody else that day she was trying to make sense of what she was seeing; what she was being told; and what was being told to her by colleagues in London who were monitoring feeds and wires services.
4. We no longer have the original tapes of our 9/11 coverage (for reasons of cock-up, not conspiracy). So if someone has got a recording of our output, I'd love to get hold of it. We do have the tapes for our sister channel News 24, but they don't help clear up the issue one way or another.
5. If we reported the building had collapsed before it had done so, it would have been an error - no more than that. As one of the comments on You Tube says today "so the guy in the studio didn't quite know what was going on? Woah, that totally proves conspiracy... "
HA! THEY say they lost the tapes from the single most important news day of our generation! They lost the 9/11 tapes HAHAH! That's hilarously absurd.
------
Someone on the inside was either trying to blow the whistle, or they had really shakey boots while engaging in this day's "false flag" event. I must say, the more we uncover, the more we see how incredibly sloppy they really were in trying to fool the world into thinking we have a "new enemy". I guess you can't blame the neo cons for trying, I mean after Russia fell, what choice did they have? "Oh! I know! How about we create a fake enemy?!"
"Give that man a metal! How would you like to have a seat on the NYSE?!? Or how about a #3 position at CIA!?"
At this point you just have you laugh your ass off at the absurdity of it all. At least we have those Democrats to save us! HAHAH! LOL! Auteur : DiamondsAreTheBest Tags:Rosie O'donnell Bill O'reilly WTC7 BBC Conspiracy files 911 September 11th controlled demolition  |
