It is nothing to do with transparency. Courtrooms are open to the public in most cases and open the press in all cases. Written transcripts are widely available. It is nothing to do with being able to tell what's happening inside it's the ability of the media to be able to dice and cut little clips for their segments little blurbs little gachas little reaction shots with no context that they can feed to their viewers without any sense of journalistic integrity. Cameras in a courtroom are only about sensationalist media. They have always and always will uproot the actual movement of Justice. We've seen it before we'll see it again here, but probably worse since it's him.
