I wouldn't have bothered to post this, but it was on the Drudge Report and I couldn't resist. http://drudgereport.com/flash3im.htm

Ok we get it, there is hypocrisy involved here...

So What, the advertisors still had the right to pull their ads and MSNBC still had the right to drop the simulcast.

Let IMUS continue with his right to free speach and let those hypocritical protesters demand that he be fired, those hypocrites have free speach too.

There is hypocrisy everywhere but that isn't even the point. These are his last words.....before he hits the talk show circuit.

Oh, he'll love, as I did, the "rough transcript" disclaimer. Dare one ask WTH that means?

What's funny is that he keeps saying it's the last time he's going to comment on it, and ten minutes later he makes the same arguments, again with the caveat that this is the last time he's going to comment on it.

I'm pretty sure I can answer that one

A "rough transcript" is what a court reporter or closed captioner will insert as a header so as to let the reader know to expect mistakes, misspellings or words translating incorrectly.

It's commonly used during "real-time" translation or closed captioning, any situation where a stenographer or voice writer is using a computer software program to instantaneously translate voice to text.

As a court reporter, I use that header all the time in court for my own transcripts. During the day in court, the attorneys will have my transcript coming up on their laptop screens as words are being said. It's a "rough draft" because it is rough. There will be misspellings, proper names might come out in steno (much like what I've written above my avatar) or not spelled at all, quotes will need to be verified with documents read from, etc. After a day in court, I'll come home and edit every page of that transcript until it's perfect. Then the final transcript will go out without that header, and I'll certify it.

Closed captioning is very similar -- although there's not much of a second chance to make it perfect later. But I can understand in this situation why a reporter or captioner would use a header. We don't want anyone "citing" a rough draft.

HTH

I like how in between whines he keeps saying he isn't going to whine about it.

He has to raise money for the kids and it's so important for those girls to tell him how they feel. Puhleeze, Mr. Imus, tell us more about what a magnanimous ******* you are. Blech.

Actually, considering the source, I'm surprised they used any draft of an original transcript. Actual videos and transcripts smack of "fact", something the Drudge Report takes very loosely.

Well it is not your point now that you changed the title of the thread...

Actually there was no point. I changed the title of the thread to reflect the current employment status of Don Imus. He is officially unemployed.

 

[Anewman]

Actually there was no point...

Last time I said that about your posts, it cost me 20 point from the webmaster

So it is ok for you to say it, but if I say it...

And in between whines there are more and more threads about him. Good Lord, who's whining now???
