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.”
