I have to say that anything to increase court transparency and access to the general public is great.
The Rittenhouse trial really highlighted how crooked some prosecutors are (filing bogus charges that the judge ended up throwing out, trying to introduce evidence rejected by the court and withholding key evidence from the defense and even going as far as to try to deny the defendant his constitutional rights). The only reason the public got to see all that was because of unfiltered, democratic access thanks to television.
Now, how many innocent black men had the prosecution pull the exact same tricks and were bullied into taking a plea deal? When only "approved media organizations" can afford access to the court, we might never know.
