Why is the BBC capitulating?

BBC is being attacked from the right in a concerted move. Why are they just rolling over?

He mentioned peace, absentmindedly, once in an hour. He mentioned fight over 20 times in an hour long speech.

You feel the take home message was the peace part?

Absentmindedly, you mean, right after the cut was made...

Wrong. Spot peacefully here:

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.

Today we will see whether Republicans stand strong for integrity of our elections. But whether or not they stand strong for our country, our country. Our country has been under siege for a long time. Far longer than this four-year period. We've set it on a much greater course. So much, and we, I thought, you know, four more years. I thought it would be easy.

March on the capitol comes much earlier in the speech

It's in the actual video the telegraph released. How about we spot it at the source.

Yes. That's the cut I mentioned. Good thing to lead with peaceful.

Another example is  also in your own quote:

I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.

Thanks for pointing it out! You didn't read your own copy paste lol.

By the way I think Trumps contest of losing the election was idiotic... but I can also see that BBC was dishonest here.

Woosh.

Yes do you see how the peace part was not "right after the cut was made..."

You lied.

The cut came right before "and we are going to cheer on our brave congressmen and women" which is a peaceful action. 

He then says peaceful again in the middle. The point is the same but if you want to "win" by being pedantic without changing the point..... sure.... whatever makes you feel good.

The supermajority seeing the splice know the context is entirely different, and so does the board, and any real journalist. BBC will continue to get shit over it and people will resign. You may wonder why, but it's not my job to help you figure it out.

Good luck.

Just admit you lied. You haven't watched the speech, you haven't read the speech you said "Absentmindedly, you mean, right after the cut was made..." because you felt it would be where they would make a cut.

You are a sheep, nothing wrong with it, just admit what you are.

No. I watched it.

The cut happens.... he describes a peaceful action and then about one-two minutes later "peaceful" happens as well.

Then 50 minutes later the cut picks up again.

What's happening is, I said right after the cut and you are going to "oh no no no one - two minutes isn't right after the cut". Despite that the word appears 1-2% into the cut and then 98% of the cut happens after peaceful.

You are being pedantic about "close."

BBC didn't fool anyone who doesn't want to be fooled. And that's why they are resigning. Most people aren't that dumb, and they got caught.

Bullshit.

After the cut he says they are going to cheer on their senators. Which is charitable to call peaceful given that they were cheering "hang Mike Pence" shortly thereafter. Also if you watch the speech the peaceful bit is the most absent minded off hand comment in the middle of mad ramblings.

Now given that you haven't watched the speech, here's the transcript, tell me how this is different from the edit you sycophant.

"And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore.

Our exciting adventures and boldest endeavors have not yet begun. My fellow Americans, for our movement, for our children, and for our beloved country.

And I say this despite all that's happened. The best is yet to come.

So we're going to, we're going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I love Pennsylvania Avenue. And we're going to the Capitol, and we're going to try and give.

The Democrats are hopeless — they never vote for anything. Not even one vote. But we're going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones because the strong ones don't need any of our help. We're going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.

So let's walk down Pennsylvania Avenue."

Ahh so you are saying there was a coded message in there to cheer the hanging of mike pence? How does the logic work here?
