Who is that person in front of the courtroom typing on that funny-looking machine?

That's a stenographer.

Stenography journalism

When journalists simply repeat whatever politicians say, word for word, similar to a stenographer typing out a transcript word for word. This is similar to fake news. Stenography journalists repeat politicians' lies without any attempt at fact-checking, calling out the lies, analysis or critical thinking about what was said. Stenography journalism allows politicians to lie, and have their lies spread to a wide audience. The lies are consequently taken to be facts by many members of the public.

"62% of teachers in this district couldn't pass a basic literacy test last year," said the senator. This was completely false, but the stenography journalism of the local news website used the senator's assertion as the headline without fact-checking it.

stunographer

A dictation-typist who absolutely flabbergasts others with his/her transcribing accuracy, speed, etc.

Stella Pajunas-Garnand set the world record for typing speed at 216 words per minute in 1946. I wonder if she'd have been a total stunographer, as well?
