Not far off... it's a commentary on the perpetual gullibility of the media, made by juxtaposing lines from the 'Chicago' movie (from the 1920's era screenplay that played as a farce of the media of the times) with modern day Presidential press conferences. "Now remember," Billy coaches Roxie, "we can only sell them one idea at a time." The idea: Roxie acted in self-defense. "We both reached for the gun," Roxie sings to the reporters, who obediently turn her lie into a rousing chorus, repeating it over and over in a production number that portrays them as marionettes, bowing and scraping to the tug of Billy's strings and spin. Rather a clever commentary on what's now called an 'info-tainment' driven news media.
