Abstract

The practice of language in digital media not only functions as a means of communication, but also represents ideology and power relations. This research aims to reveal Denny Sumargo's partiality in the YouTube podcast Curhat Bang episode "Demo Collapses DPR, Pasha Ungu Answers Why DPR Dances" which was uploaded on August 27, 2025. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with corpus-based analysis of Norman Fairclough's critical discourse. Data in the form of Denny Sumargo's speech as a podcast host was obtained through manual listening and transcription techniques. The corpus consists of 1,586 tokens and 526 word types that are analyzed using AntConc through word frequency, concordance, and n-gram features. The results of the study show that partiality is built through the use of inclusive pronouns, framing, and representation of social actors that place the community as the aggrieved party, while the House of Representatives is represented less empathetic. These findings suggest that digital podcast hosts also play a role as discursive actors who shape public opinion through linguistic practices.
