I’m amassing quite a sentence collection from Japanese articles about the U.S. election, but to tell the truth I prefer coverage in English. Straight from the American media, you know? It’s more authentic, more “real”, more “immediate” than the stiff stilted news language used in Japanese news. Even in the most formal news articles in the NYT & co. there’s always some element of colloquialism in it, like it’s something that an ordinary person could say, but Japanese news language is as stiff and dead as a tombstone. Better get used to it, though.
