"I think what was more difficult was to separate the headlines from the headlines. The media paints a certain picture that if you don't do due diligence and actually spend time looking through the stories that are being told, you are just going on what you're being spoon-fed," he said during an interview with Extra.  "I'm neither defending him nor throwing him under the bus, I'm looking at the media's role and how the media forms public opinion."

Warner visited Extra to discuss his role as Al Cowlings in "American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson" but naturally Cosby became a topic of conversation.
