Shout Out To Court Reporters! | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
RACHEL. God BLESS them and you!!
@Richard Alan Eccleston you’re right we should all report this account
@Bud Fudlacker Mr. “Rachel” is the Funniest Cross-Dressing Clown on the Fake News Networks.
Please, please do not use Rachel Maddow and God, in the same sentence. That’s blasphemy.
Love you Rachel💞💖
Sereta Alston The New Alex Jones. The nastiest feminist on the planet
I love him too. Mr. “Rachel” is the Funniest Cross-Dressing Clown on the Fake News Networks.
It’s not easy, the training is pretty tough 👍😎 my wife is doing it.
@Lesh4537… .🤭comment. What is the point that you’re trying to make?
@W TF? I am attempting to verify your source of information. Personal experience? Or tinfoil hat ramblings?
@Lesh4537 … Its personal. But why are you asking about something you obviously know nothing about?
And you call my comment a tin foul hat rambling. LOL
You seem to be the only one with a tin foil hat here.
@W TF? I guess I know nothing about court records. Or that they’re a public record and free. Often easily accessible online, especially for federal trails. But what would I know.
As a retired court reporter myself, I want to THANK YOU for your recognition, Rachel. It takes *real people* with *real skills* to produce an accurate and intelligible transcript in a speedy fashion.
Fools who think we could be replaced by machines need to read some of the auto-generated captions on these boards: Full of mistakes and gibberish — and if something is unclear, they just skip it. Not good enough!
@Jean Kennedy FAKE NEWS
I can’t believe you believed her, boy are you gullible
@Mind Freshener : HINT: Calling something “fake news” does nothing to change the truth of it, even though the fools wish it would.
Gaslighting might work on the gullible — but the rest of us know what we saw and heard. Pretending it’s “fake” doesn’t change REALITY in the least.
Hi Rachel Anne.👋🍺.
Me, “court stenographer.”👍.
Me, “stenography[shorthand].”👍.
Rachel, i had to add the words ‘stenographer and stenography’ to my cell phone(mobile phone) dictionary.👍😂.
Congratulations, court reporters!
Trump will be looking for a way to choke off the free press next given your Supreme Court appears to think an attempted coup is just a political discussion.
A shout out to my fellow “Never Repugnant RepubliKKKlans” and those of us who become enraged with TDS whenever we see of hear tRump. Just the sight of him disgusts me.
Well you will be jumping off a cliff come this fall when Mr. Trump gets another 4 by a landslide. I hope several thousand libs join and jump with you.
Better take your TDS medication and buy some Kleenex….. Trump is definitely doing a great job for all Americans..
Yes yes !freedom of the press freedom of speech! Yes yes remove trump from being your liar and thief !stealing all your lives away!
My Mother was a widowed mother of three who did court reporting to make extra money.
She was the first to go to college in our family. All of her kids did.
DEMAND PAPER BALLOTS ! ! ! FOR A FAIR ELECTION ! ! !

As always, great work to all court reporters, you all rock 🍻🤙
Thank you, Rachel, Lawrence (extended comments), and MSNBC for these kinds words and this important recognition! We stenographers appreciate you!
Thank you, Rachel, for recognizing and praising the field of court reporting. Last week some news reporters during a congressional meeting break were calling us out-dated and why hasn’t digital recording replaced us and various other comments suggesting clearly that they have absolutely NO idea what they’re talking about. It would take a digital recorder probably 10 times longer to produce a transcript, with multi-errors, no-doubt, than a skilled steno reporter. What we do is extremely high-tech. Thanks for the nice plug!!
Amy: I used to get that “out-dated” nonsense myself. They’d say, “Why do they use an old-fashioned reporter instead of a modern tape-recorder? I’d reply, “And how would the tape-recorder produce a transcript? After we adjourn, someone would sit and TYPE it all from the beginning, letter by letter — and you think that’s modern?”
I used a computer stenotype and a real-time transcription program so my keystrokes were all translated within a nano-second into correctly spelled English displayed on the screen. *That IS modern and cutting-edge technology!*
Thank you for the shout-out to stenographers! That was AWESOME! We all thank you!!
What a rubbish gossip show this is
Thank you!!! I love what. I do!
The next time I’m called for jury duty my verdict will be not guilty, what’s good for the president and his friends is good for all of us.
You have a great skill, reporting the news.it takes a lots of reading, plus intelligent and the way you present the news. I think sometimes you become news, I mean you go so deep in the exploring the news that I think you are part of news , not just reporting it. I have never seen anybody with skill like your. I say it what I believe in it. Excellent job.
