Apologizing for ‘confusion’ means PBS got caught

PBS used footage of previous Independence Day fireworks, then apologized for “any confusion this may have caused.”

You want not to cause confusion: (1) announce what you are going to do and why; or, (2) show live fireworks even if skies are overcast.

Typical DC decision, figuring flyover folks won’t notice, or if they do, just say something like “We apologize if you were confused.”
