Ha ha! Great response.
Court TV’s prime time show “Closing Arguments” is two hours long. The Donna portion of the show was in the second half and only two segments of that. Regular viewers will know that is not much time as C-TV is shamefully laden with advertisements, strangely with advertising tilted toward C-TV itself. (Surely the best adverts for a show you are already watching is the content itself—why the heck do they waste time on annoying promos of past cases or future content you already watched or want to view???)
C-TV reported on DA’s first appearance before a judge, showing video that was not their own. This was the first time I was exposed to a YouTube channel with the name Law belle vie, as C-TV had to acknowledge the source of the video.
Relatively new to this case, I knew nothing about LBV, but I immediately admired the YouTuber who first posted the appearance of DA before whacked out “sweetie” Judge Glazer (sp?) for the clever bi-lingual pun in the name of the the channel title.
Anyone can access the Florida open court proceedings. I thought that C-TV might actually do this on their own this time, as they have made the DM case one of their current signature cases.
The fact that it is an openly available proceeding doesn’t stop C-TV from broadcasting it either live or broadcasting it soon after the fact. And C-TV made it clear that it will be via zoom (as per Tim Jensen).
Court-TV will certainly cover it, even if they have to acknowledge someone else for curating thr Zoom. If they must credit someone else’s Zoom capture that doesn’t change that fact of their second-hand reporting. It only adds heft to a conclusion that C-TV no longer has the staff or other resources to cover these things on their own.
If Donna is arraigned tomorrow there will be many ways to observe the proceedings. If you are like me and find many of the off-beat YouTubers rather annoying, I’m sure you can view the arraignment on C-TV.
