  3. Judge Castel:

    Judge Castel's decision acknowledges what we have asserted from the beginning, that viewers of' When They See Us' believe that Defendants' utterly false and defamatory portrayal of Linda Fairstein as' a central villain' in' When They See Us' has a basis in truth, we are glad that Linda Fairstein now has the opportunity to pursue Linda Fairstein claims with respect to five critical scenes in the series that falsely depict Ms. Fairstein engaging in coercive and discriminatory conduct in order to build a case against innocent young men of color.

  4. Steve Bannon:

    Today in modern pop culture, you know they call Ted Cruz the Joe McCarthy -- if you want to think of who devils are it's Ronald Reagan and those who name-names at the House Un-American Activities, the Hollywood Ten are heroes right? alger Hiss is a hero, right? Richard Nixon's a villain? Joe McCarthy is a villain. Your book makes very plain that these guys were right. The place was infested with either traitors that were on the direct payroll of Soviet military intelligence or fellow-travelers who were kind of compliant in helping these guys get along. I mean, there's absolutely no question of it. How has pop culture so changed it that white is black and black is white?
