I really don’t think this is a good idea. Fascist media will be selectively editing the footage to tell lies about what’s really going on, and we all know the people that watch/listen to that garbage are not concerned with actual facts.
The media already does that, so it’s really no different. Without live streaming, the media would just straight up lie about what happened in court and live streaming provides vital protection against that. Trump WILL lie about what happens in court, this is why they are live streaming it.
True. It’s pretty fucked up that this is even something to be worried about. Trump and his cronies are dogshit.
Trump’s lawyers will definitely be telling lies and spindoctoring everything anyway.
The difference is, by making it public, it will be very easy to rebuke it
It’s actually a good thing imho
So far they have all had the luxury of having their cases behind closed doors. There’s so many times where a judge has laid into them for trying to push ridiculous shit. If that happens (which we know it will because they are clowns) it would be great for the public to see the look on their faces.
Disinformation will be spread regardless. Yes, if there’s footage it does mean it can be edited and spliced. But then it’s even easier to clearly show that it’s disinformation if people can just watch the footage.
Precisely this. Whether they have public video of the trial or not, Republicans are going to make up a fantasy version of it anyway. Might as well have this major piece of history on public record as it happens.
It’s never a good idea to live stream court cases. It interferes with actual justice and makes it a show instead
Oh great. I’ll get live updates from the Heritage Foundation and the Daily Signal about how Biden’s anarchistic will is being carried out through Fani Willis in an egregious abuse of the law to prosecute the greatest political force for good the world has ever seen since Chile’s Pinochet.
I can’t wait!
Wil there also be live cometary, same as with sports?
It’s inevitable that twitch folks will stream watching it.
I vote for Vic Romano and Kenny Blankenship
i’m hopeful emily d baker will cover it. she did that with depp v heard and murdaugh.
It this generation’s OJ trial
Except OJ didn’t have rabid, braindead supporters waiting to cause violence after a conviction.
Short memory; there were protests and violence when he was acquitted. I can’t blame you for not remembering it after almost 30 years; chances are you probably weren’t born. But OJ had a lot of rabid, brain dead supporters, and he had a lot of rabid, brain dead opponents. And that was for a single guy (allegedly? He was found not guilty) murdering his wife, not a rich dude trying to subvert democracy.
It was an insane trial through and through.
Yeah, let’s give him more attention and publicity. Surely will be good.
Dis gon b gud.
