KENOSHA, WI—As deliberations continue in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, concerns have been raised about the jurors' safety as an MSNBC reporter was spotted hanging a sign on their hotel reading "THE JURORS ARE HERE".
The jury had indicated they were a little bit concerned as they saw the van tailing them and alerted authorities, but by the time they got there, the journalist had already hung the sign telling everyone where they were.
"This is a little worrying," said one juror as she got off the bus and saw the sign being hung outside their hotel room as they continued their work determining Rittenhouse's fate. "I mean, wouldn't people know that we're here?"
The MSNBC reporter claimed they were given instructions by the courthouse to follow the jurors' bus, put the sign up on their hotel, and sneak in and hide inside a closet for the duration of deliberations. The judge said he "said no such thing" and banned MSNBC from the courthouse and also from playing XBOX Live with him and Rittenhouse until the trial is over.
The reporter is slated to win a Pulitzer.
Ha, you weren’t going to get me this time!
I actually thought this was real.
MSNBC is hiring Alec Baldwin as their latest correspondent.
If this guy hadn’t run the light, would he have been allowed to follow them and take photos?
Are we to believe if NBC isn’t doing this there aren’t another dozen stringers out there trying to get the ‘story’?
damn the BEE!!!! should be a rule that “the BEE” has to be first words in the headline... 8^)
Babylon Bee should get a Pulitzer.
You did get me for 2 paragraphs lol. Then I thought “but they weren’t sequestered!”. Finally looked at the source. Good stuff.
The Bee often has a killer end line. This is one of them. LOL!
To be fair, we don’t know for sure if he worked for MSNBC or just lied. If he was lying, he should’ve told them he worked for Fox News. But I guess he’s not too bright a person.
Clearly intimidating the jury whatever reason sent him.
They had me up until “Xbox...
Ya got me, I failed to note: Babylon Bee, before clicking!

They really would if they thought they could get away with it.
That’s what makes the Bee genius...in this upside-down world the stories may very well BE true.
“I actually thought this was real.”
It really wouldn’t surprise me if MSNBC did such a thing.
I agree, the Bee is Genius.
Almost bought into it until I looked at the top and saw where it came from. LOL. Love the BB, better real news than from the MSM bunch.
A fine line between fact and satire.
