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.

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

And it will somehow be more absurd than the Jury Duty series.

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!

I can't tell if this is satire or if you legitimately hold this opinion!

That's exactly what QAnon would say to throw us off the trail...

I'm on to you.

Yeah, let's give him more attention and publicity. Surely will be good.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Donald Trump's trial in Georgia over charges of election fraud will be livestreamed and televised, a judge has ruled.

All the hearings will be available live on Fulton County Court's YouTube channel, said Judge Scott McAfee.

Mr Trump and 18 people are charged with a conspiracy to overturn the state's 2020 presidential election results.

Mr Trump briefly travelled to Atlanta last week to turn himself in at Fulton County Jail and have his mugshot taken.

Prosecutors allege that he pressured Georgia officials to reverse the results of the election in the state, which he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

The former New York real estate tycoon is the current frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination and his mounting legal problems have done nothing to dent his popularity among his supporters.


The original article contains 449 words, the summary contains 131 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
