In discourse analysis, this is a transcription choice that works when you’re analyzing a community’s speech patterns, but notice how Trump’s speech is never transcribed so “precisely” in their copy. The imbalance demonstrates bias and disdain. It’s smarmy and unprofessional, aka the CNN brand.
This is an unusual transcript (of Harris/Walz by CNN), filled with "gonna", "wearin'", "I'll tell ya", "pulling outta the race". These things are ubiquitous in speech, but most transcribers would change these to "going to", "wearing", "I'll tell you", "out of". edition.cnn.com/2024/08/29/p...
Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz sat down exclusively with CNN Thursday for her first interview since ascending to the top of the Democratic ticket.
Trump's "speech patterns" aren't only standardized, but also his actual misnomers (hallowed/hollowed) are corrected, without any editorial indication of the change. The bias is so insanely explicit that it can't be unintentional.
CNN thinks gonna is AA E.
CNN - Conservative News Network since Ted Turner sold our soul.
Transcriptions of Trump routinely omit all manner of stupid asides & repetitions of ugly statements. It's normal to clean up a public event transcript a bit, but w/ Trump we get basically a ghost-written version of his every public statement. In the media it's Trump "as told by" reporter Q for NYT.
I have a family member who I’m trying to ween off of CNN, so in just the slightest way, I can feel what it’s like for family members of people who have gone off the deep end.
Yeah, uh, you—if you, uh, if you transcribed, uh, the way, the way that any norm—any normal person speaks verbatim, much, uh, less, Trump, then you've, you'd get, uh, you know, somethin' completely, you know, unrecognizable. That's why professional, uh, professional, you know, outfits don't do that.
They want the woman of color to sound stupid. I bet they clean up Trump's babbling though.
