First of all, who believes anything they see on TV anymore? I can see feeling ripped-off if you paid money for a live fireworks show and ended up with digital reruns but I'm not sure this is the same. What do you thing about the fake fireworks?
The public broadcaster acknowledged intercutting old footage with its live broadcast shortly after the show ended, saying in a tweet, "We showed a combination of the best fireworks from this year and previous years. It was the patriotic thing to do." That admission brought a flurry of criticism from people who were unhappy with either an air of media deception, a preference for perfection over authenticity, or some combination of both. After PBS' tweet, Washington Post reporter Paul Schwartzman called it "the Milli Vanilli of fireworks"
