Morning Joe Mentions George Floyd Six Times, But Silent On BLM-Backing Chauvin Juror

If you're a news program with any pretense of journalistic integrity, how can you:

Mention "George Floyd" six times during today's show; but... fail to mention even once the major news about the trial of the man that a jury convicted of murdering George Floyd. Namely, that one of the jurors was a BLM supporter who:

Who denied to the judge before being selected as a juror that he had attended any rallies against police brutality, whereas he had attended one while wearing a BLM hat, and a T-shirt that read "Get Off Our Necks--BLM." [See screencap.]

Reportedly told the judge that he had not heard anything about the George Floyd civil case other than basic info about trial dates, etc. and nothing that would keep him from serving as an impartial juror.

Who after the trial said that people need to get onto juries to "spark change."

So Morning Joe mentions “George Floyd” six times today, but stays silent on huge news of Chauvin jury who lied in claiming he’d never attended a protest against police brutality. See photo of him at DC protest sporting BLM, Knee off our Necks hat and t-shirt.

Christensen: I had mixed feelings. There was a question on the questionnaire about it and I put I did not know. The reason, at that time, was I did not know what the outcome was going to be, so I felt like either way you are going to disappoint one group or the other. I did not want to go through rioting and destruction again and I was concerned about people coming to my house if they were not happy with the verdict.

Morning Joe is just Spongebob Squarepants with live actors.

Waiting at the car dealer this morning while my car got an oil change. They had MSNBC on in the waiting lounge. It was awful. The whole hour plus was BLM and the rest of it was Liz Cheney is a hero and Americans who disagree are racists. It was uncomfortable to say the least being subjected to this sandwiched between one uniformed policeman (waiting on car) and a young black man waiting on his car. MSNBC was saying that the majority of Americans don’t think Black Americans can speak or have a vocabulary. Certainly no one I know believes that. They just lie, lie, lie. I emailed the dealer requesting they consider an alternative show but nothing changed the hour plus I was there.
