schema:articleBody	Iran's state television on Tuesday issued a correction after calling Pink Floyd's Roger Waters a "political expert" when airing his comments on US President-elect Joe Biden. The broadcaster earlier in the day showed part of the rock icon's interview with Russian channel RT, presenting him as an analyst who believes "Biden cannot be trusted". US President Donald Trump's re-election "would've been worse for everyone in the world, but that doesn't make Biden a good candidate," Waters told RT's "Going Underground" programme. "Biden (is a) warmongering servant of the oligarchy that rules the United States of America and will continue to be so for however long he remains the president of the United States. He's not to be trusted on anything," Waters added. State TV said on its Telegram channel that Waters was "wrongly called a political expert" during the morning news and instead described him as someone with "activities in the field of socio-political music". But comments and jokes on the earlier attribution were already doing the rounds on social media. "I say we go and blast 'Hey You' in front of the TV building, and if they object, say it's a political expert singing," tweeted journalist Yeganeh Khodami, referring to one of the band's iconic songs from its world-famous "The Wall" album. Another user, Sina Jabbari, tweeted laughter emojis "from here to the Dark Side of the Moon," in reference to another Pink Floyd album. "We request this political expert play 'The Wall' concert alongside the expert on economic issues David Gilmour," wrote another Twitter user, referring to another Pink Floyd member. Local media also reacted swiftly. "State TV's latest gaffe: Roger Waters is a musician, not a political expert," the reformist Etemad daily wrote on its website. Etemad also claimed separately that the broadcaster made the error in a rush to criticise Biden -- whom Iranian conservatives consider no different from Trump in maintaining Washington's animosity towards Tehran. Waters is one of Pink Floyd's co-founders and an outspoken political activist, known for his anti-war stances and for backing the Palestinian cause. amh/mj/lg
