Meanwhile Putin eyes up Poland. A real world leader would be turning their attention to that rather than the BBC, making himself richer ,and trying to cover up sex scandals.

Amusingly enough, the person (Prescott) who wrote the report stating the BBC edited Trump’s speech also edited Trump’s speech in the report…

In the document, Prescott writes:
“Fifteen minutes into the speech, what Trump actually said: ‘We are gonna walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be with you. I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.’ It was completely misleading to edit the clip in the way Panorama aired it.”
But this is not what Donald Trump actually said in his speech. Prescott has heavily edited the remarks, changing their meaning.
And just as Prescott claims there are rules for television, on making it clear when you have edited or abridged a quote, these exist in print, too. If you are abridging a quote, you signify it with an ellipsis. Prescott has not done this.
The full version of the quote that Prescott cites reads very differently. Here it is below, with the sections Prescott uses in bold.
“We’re gonna walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.
“Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated.
“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

That nice Mr Zelenski chap needs help, and what better way to get it than stirring up Nato a little more  |
Strangely enough, that’s what the Ruski bots are posting…
