Thursday’s edition of "Good Morning America" featured a Diane Sawyer anecdote that unintentionally revealed the low opinion Americans have of journalists. After wrapping up a July 12 segment on a Massachusetts man who is in trouble for attempting to avoid jury duty, the ABC co-host recounted the "hurtful" experience she had in a courtroom:
Video (0:55): Real (1.51) or Windows (1.71 MB), plus MP3 Audio (607kB)
7:34am
[Wrap up of segment on getting out of jury duty.]
Diane Sawyer: "You know, I wanted to sit on a jury once and I was taken off the jury. And the judge said to me, 'Can, you know, can you tell the truth and be fair?' And I said, 'That's what journalists do.' And everybody in the courtroom laughed. It was the most hurtful moment I think I've ever had."

Liberals live in a social bubble, in their liberal echo chamber, and when confronted with the real world, they find it “hurtful”.

Gee Diane, even the dumbest and most ignorant Democrat knows you are all full of sh*t.
The sheeple aren’t as dumb as you idiots think they are.
Even if they wish to go along with you, they know truth when they hear it.

She’s lead a sheltered life.
No real tragedies at all.
Must just be lucky (or just be so calloused that nothing bothers her except her ego being bruised).
