it doesn't matter about the law.
It's about…
being able to tell a story.
When you turn a courtroom into a studio,
you have to turn reality into a story.
With good guys, bad guys, drama.
You've got to come up with ways

but the court of public opinion is very important.
Because if everybody in the building
likes these guys,
they must be the good guys, right?

in discussing who he was.
Everything was done for the purpose of ratings,
and ratings are money.
I really wasn't sure that what I was seeing was real.
Stop the cameras.
Let's stop right here.
