As Christine Blasey Ford testifies in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday about Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's alleged sexual assault, the millions of people watching at home have a totally different view than her.
Most news networks are showing a close-up of her face and torso at a desk, flanked by her lawyers, while alternating between the faces of senators and prosecutor Rachel Mitchell questioning her.
But from Ford's perspective, the experience is completely different.
She's looking at a looming semicircle of senators, with a scrum of photographers flashing cameras in her face.
It's a stark contrast from what viewers at home and at work are seeing. From the nation's perspective, the cameras frame Ford in relative isolation.
