Hope MPs ask Prescott about his own selectively edited quote from Trump's Jan 6 speech. bsky.app/profile/tom-...

I do like how, in the bit of Prescott's memo where he criticises the BBC for editing together different parts of Trump's speech, his own quote of "what Trump actually said" is... edited together from different parts of his speech.
Two paragraphs from Michael Prescott's BBC memo: In reality, the first part of Trump’s speech: “We’re gonna walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be with you,” came 15 minutes into the speech. The second half of the sentence that was aired by Panorama, “and we fight. We fight like hell....” came 54 minutes later. 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. The fact that he did not explicitly exhort supporters to go down and fight at Capitol Hill was one of the reasons there were no federal charges for incitement to riot. Four paragraphs from NPR's transcript of Trump's January 6th speech: Now, it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we're going to walk down, and I'll be there with you, we're going to walk down, we're going to walk down. Anyone you want, but I think right here, we're going to 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.

“I Need You” is a bit of a revelation. It’s got a real groove.

Oh, and the audience *loved* it. No Judas nonsense.

CD4: Copenhagen, 1/5. Bob snarls his way through Baby Let Me Follow You Down. Rambling intro to Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues describing “one of the youngest old people”. Ballad of a Thin Man bent thrillingly out of shape. Incredible. Can Like a Rolling Stone possibly match it? Yes. Majestic. 10/10
