how do y’all feel about court hearings featuring celebrities being sensationalized? I get that most of us wanted to see what happened between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard but is the media circus really necessary?

Bread and circuses for the masses, bread and circuses...

It's what the people want, if the common person wasn't invested into it and driving traffic to whoever is covering then the media outlets wouldn't bother with it

Bunch of bogus if you ask me, especially when other more pressing matters (Roe v Wade anyone?) were going on at the time. Disgusting

I don't think the media circus is necessary. It's just giving the celebrities more attention and making the whole thing more dramatic than it needs to be.

I don't really care about celebrity court hearings, to be honest. I'm more interested in what's going on in the world and in my own life than what's happening to celebrities. That said, I can see how some people might find the hearings interesting and why people might be drawn to it.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you mean do I think it's necessary for the media to sensationalize court hearings featuring celebrities? I don't really know. It's their job to report on what's happening, and if that means making a big deal out of a celebrity court case, then so be it. Personally, I'm interested in celebrity news, so I don't mind. But I can see how some people might find it annoying or overdone.

It's kind of ridiculous as far as I'm concerned, these people are paid actors by profession and it isn't hard for them to go into performance mode on the stand. So much of it is "for the cameras" as far as I can tell, and that has nothing to do with actual justice.

I sort of enjoy watching news anchors try to make everything seem sensational when they have nothing of substance to report, and you can tell they want to say "absolutely NOTHING is going on here, now back to the studio" but they can't. Instead, everything has to be "shocking allegations," "groundbreaking discoveries," "secret key witnesses" (who are really just no-name experts in whatever field they need). Not sure why but it amuses me.

Not sure why judges would allow media to film testimony, it's kind of weird because I feel like it's stuff we're not supposed to be watching, kind of like peeping through a window? It just seems like none of our business in most cases
