Jury selection concluded on Monday in a Florida courthouse in the defamation trial against CNN.
Here are the best moments from the selection of prospective jurors:
Prospective Juror 1 Dislikes the Media
Juror 1 told the Bay County Circuit Court he could not be impartial because he dislikes the media, “especially CNN,” according to Media Research Center Associate Editor Nicholas Fondacaro and Fox News’ Brian Flood.
Juror 1 later doubled down on his “dislike” for the media, saying CNN is “fake news.” At least six other prospective jurors expressed the belief that CNN “creates fake news.”
Prospective Juror 4 Avoids CNN
Juror 4 said that “they intentionally avoid[] CNN” before saying, according to Fondacaro’s reporting, that CNN is “just as bad as every other media outlet.”
Prospective Juror 23 Calls Out ‘Victim’ Minded Media
Juror 23 said he was unable to be impartial because he believes “media outlets think they can say whatever they want” and “pretend to be the victim when they’re called on it,” according to Fondacaro. The juror reportedly added that “almost everything I see on [CNN] … I see it a different way.”

I can be just as fair to CNN as CNN was to J6 protestors.
So looking forward to everyone at the commie news network losing their jobs.
hopefully, the selected jurors simply lied ...
“hopefully, the selected jurors simply lied ...”
💯 👍
CNN is not off to an auspicious start. :-)
I wrote in December 2015:
"Us '97ers know ALL about the Media. We hate them with a searing, white-hot hate. ANYTHING that will destroy them, we're for."

It’s what happens when the defendants are guilty of brain-washing their “peers .”
Which wasn’t very fair at all.
If CNN is free to lie to me then I am free to lie about whether I could be impartial.
They are guilty.
What was the charge again?
Judge—can we increase the damages above the amount requested by the plaintiff?
How much in damages would be required to put these creeps and their parent corporation out of business permanently?
Lol.
If CNN is not guilty they don’t have anything to fear from me. Where did CNN put that check book?
Bleed ‘em dry.
Retribution for all the lies they have told over the years.
I hope there are a lot of others who will bring defamation suits.
Not sure how the case ended up in Florida; that does not bode well for CNN.
CNN will get a fair trial. Again, that does not bode well for them.
I live in Bay county and I guarantee you it’s very interesting.
CNN broadcasts in all 50 states, so Young was defamed in all of them, so he has the right to choose any U.S. District he wants.
He may also live within the District in which he filed.

Bay County FL is in the panhandle, Panama City to be exact. It’s a very conservative area with lots of veterans. It’s not where CNN would like this trial to be held.
However much you hate the legacy media it’s not enough.
