Fetterman claims errors in closed captioning system during debate

24. I use cc all the time.

I have mild hearing loss, very loud tinnitus and use hearing aids to help mask the tinnitus. The closed captioning is sometimes a joke, I couldn't hear the word, when cc catches up, it is skipped, nonsensical or actually says "mumble." If the tv is on, cc is also on. I'll ask my husband what did he say, he couldn't get it either. So I rewind, still not understandable with no cc displayed. They just skip words all the time especially during the local news, even msnbc, cnn or bbc. Probably because they couldn't spell it, the talker was too fast, or whatever. I certainly hope people who are profoundly deaf don't have to rely on closed caption. TV shows are better and it is actually funny how they mess the words up. I too, watch lots of British shows, love the nae, innit, shite, etc.
