Did BBC’s focus on one potential Glastonbury controversy miss another?

Last year, BBC won the BAFTA for the scope of Glastonbury. This year is being attacked for this. Or, to be more precise, for an hour, if you count the set of Kneecap, Bob Vylan’s Saturday afternoon is watching on the West Holts scene.

I came early to cover the performance of Belfast Rap Trio, I realized that the Prime Minister should not continue, that the festival organizers were intact against political pressure, that one of the members of the group was on guarantee for a terror charges rejected by one of the members of the group and that the BBC would not be able to publish the morning show live.

I have to admit that I didn’t hear Bob Vylan. But I don’t imagine that there are others. Bob Vylan set from millions of people covered by the BBC will probably be a small ratio of the Bob Vylan set.

But now you must be under a rock (or perhaps you had to do too many parties in the Somperset farm) to avoid hearing the Punk duo.

Standing in the crowd and capturing the interpretations of the chief singer – using violence to meet your message and the crowd “Death, Death, IDF Death, [Israel Defense Forces]” – As the organizers of the festival said later, it was clear that a line passed.

This was not welcome to all of the peace that Glastonbury was trying to project.

Police launched a criminal investigation to determine whether Bob Vylan’s statements on the stage broke the law.

Some people in the crowd threat to “death to IDF”. They were on board. Bob Vylan also made a platform for the controversial “River to the sea”.

Some use as a call for Palestinian control of all lands between the Jordanian River and the Mediterranean, including the Jordan River and Israel. Critics say that the slogan is a call for the destruction of the Israeli state.

This interpretation is being discussed by pro -Palestinian activists, who says that Israel calls not Israel’s destruction, but to end Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and the blockage of Gaza.

At that time, I noted that from my perspective, on the contrary, the slogan could not get a great reaction from the crowd.

Review Group, Festival Organizers and BBC. But where does the freedom of expression begin and end for thousands of the crowds in the afternoon that Saturday?

After Knecap’s set, I talked to fans in the crowd who supported this group’s attitude towards Israel-Gaza War and was pleased to send a message to the British government.

But at the same time, I talked to the Jewish festival goers who told me that they had to hide their identities in Glastonbury this year, because they were afraid of the response they could. One of them is very optimistic to me and a place that is accepted by everyone, “If you are a Jew, there is a difference.”

Both perspectives should be heard.

On Saturday, he felt a lot of energy on how to deal with Kneecap in Glastonbury in this area on Saturday, and Bob Vylan had missed the potential to cause problems. Sometimes, when you focus on a potential debate, the other comes to bite you.

Bob Vylan would not know exactly what to say or what to do on the stage. There are questions whether the necessary effort is made while running. I was told to be like that. The Perception that the BBC’s reaction as the set emerges and the perception that it is too slow to move is a greater problem.

When I looked at the headlines in the BBC News and the headlines throughout the media, and I have dealt with too many BBC ‘scandal’ to be beaten by BBC, remember that the stories of the BBC are often used as a rod to hit the company by other media organizations. And sometimes there are other institutional interests in the game for those who want to see a weaker BBC for their benefits.

However, the BBC said he regretted that he did not draw live streams during performance. From memory, comments came to the end of the set, but there was still time to take action. Still, it should have been a quick decision. Therefore, if the team had to resort to editorial advice, the performance may have already been finished – and then withdrawn without watching İplayer again.

The BBC says that he is looking at his guidance on live events, so that “teams are open to protect the output in the air”.

Freedom of speaking, freedom of expressing views and the right to artistic expression will be in the minds of the BBC while entering the festival.

The Palestinian Sea is shared by Glastonbury and many wider people as the crowded flags in Performance Performance Performance, Solidarity with the Palestinian people (and some of the genocide rejected by Israel for some). BBC does not want to censor the views.

But encouraging violence is not an opinion. It could be a criminal offense.

Culture often has a mirror in politics, and what plays in Glastonbury is the explanatory of more fiery debates about what is happening in Gaza throughout the country.

Bob Vylan set rightly begged both the BBC and Glastonbury organizers as well as artists themselves. Although it is true that the BBC as a public organization is confronted with the study, they made the comments at first.

And in the controversial times we have experienced, those who have already questioned the problems for the scope of Israel and Gaza and the company.

An investigation continues in a documentary published by Gaza about their children, and another documentary about doctors in Gaza has been left by the BBC and will now be published on Channel 4.
