Media Narratives and the Quaaludes Deposition

Legal analyst Elie Honig and anchor Alisyn Camerota discuss the 2005 deposition where Bill Cosby admitted to obtaining Quaaludes. The hosts deconstruct the media's framing of this admission, arguing that the press "sandwiched" facts to make it appear Cosby confessed to drugging women without their knowledge. They clarify that Cosby's actual testimony described Quaaludes as a party drug used similarly to alcohol, rather than a "knockout" drug as portrayed in the news.
