A while back there was a report where in an interview it was claimed Live Aid money was diverted to rebels to buy arms. Though since then the BBC has apologised to the charity after the reports showed no evidence to support the claims made."The BBC's Editorial Complaints Unit found in its ruling that there was no evidence to support such statements and that "they should not have been broadcast".
"The BBC wishes to apologise unreservedly to the Band Aid Trust for the misleading and unfair impression which was created," it added.
[...]
He said the BBC had made "a terrible, terrible mistake, they've damaged 24 years of work, they've damaged the public perception of giving aid to relieve starving people around the world"."-BBC
