Diane Sawyer Sort Of Gets A Clue
Well, not really, she just thought it was "hurtful". But she related a story on Good Morning America that actually says rather a lot about the smarts of the average American - and the utter cluelessness of the American media. Many members of the media absolutely believe their own propaganda that it is truthful and fair in its reporting. Americans know better.
Thursday’s edition of "Good Morning America" featured a Diane Sawyer anecdote that revealed the low opinion Americans have of journalists. After wrapping up a segment on people who avoid jury duty, the ABC co-host recounted the "hurtful" experience she had in a courtroom:
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."
So, as a note to anyone wanting off jury duty - admitting you report the news will instantly get you bumped for bias.

The GMA story was about the blubbery senior Senator from MA dodging his civic duty.
The “man in Massachusetts” is unindicted manslaughter inflictor and serial scofflaw, Fat Teddy Kennedy, whom parents in Mass warn their children about not getting into a car with!
If Sawyer actually believes journalists have any credibility left, she is even more gullible or dishonest than she appears. She should be kicked in the butt until her mendacious liberal nitwittery exits her most prolific orifice.
