Sri Lestari, Chris Wallace’s Neutralistic Posture Strategies in Fox News Sunday Interview. A Thesis. English Letters Department, Letters and Humanities Faculty, State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, 2016.
This paper discusses neutralistic posture strategies occurred in Fox News Sunday Interview with Chris Wallace aired on February 28th 2016. It is a qualitative research. The writer uses conversation analysis theory to find out the interviewer‘s reason of using the strategies and the impacts of using them on the interviewee.
The analysis of eight selected data shows that Wallace uses all neutralistic posture strategies, namely embedding statements with questions, third-party attribution and mitigation. Apart from maintaining his neutralistic stance, Wallace has some underlying reasons to convey the strategies, which are: introducing a new topic, criticizing the IE, and defending himself when confronted by the IE. The impact of these strategies is the non-straightforward answers that the IE (Cruz) has provided. The IE resists IR‘s line of questioning by producing dispreferred responses. Both the IE and the IR abandoned their institutional roles by producing non Q-A format, resulting in confrontation between the two participants. However, Wallace resolved this problem by justifying his action as having presented facts through factual statement and bringing back the news interview turn-taking framework using third-party attribution.
