Frankenbite

We're all very aware of the possibilities of editing, or the use of frankenbites, but for some people, they seem completely oblivious to their own behavior and are dedicated to expressing how [insert fall person/editing device] is really to blame.

Thank goodness it wasn't a live show. None of the contestants or stage crew were present, and the studio remained fairly quiet. The show was pre-taped, the clips already chosen and the conversations stitched together by frankenbiting, which made them about as fake as you could get.

Shows such as The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent now acknowledge that producers’ votes count for more than judges’: footage is pejoratively edited; conversations are “frankenbited” to manufacture stories; and some singers are pitch-corrected.
