I do captioning for a living, & a big part of my job is cleaning up false starts & filler words. That has always been the norm at every media outlet. Print media edits Trump so carefully that you would never know what he actually sounds like. Doing this to Biden is a 180 from decades of policy.

I know you don't know me at all but I would love to hear more about captioning if you're willing to answer? I've thought about trying it in the past but never knew where/how to start, with the addition of intermittent audio processing difficulties.

In the days after 9/11, the print media omitted all of W's malapropisms. Understandable, of course. There are more important things to worry about at the moment.

From 2017: "Interactions with world leaders have left interpreters scratching their heads about how to communicate what Trump is trying to say, when his speech baffles even native English speakers."
