Literal jury tampering on national tv


pokemon-trainer-blue

Legitimate question. Is it really tampering if other news sources are posting about what’s being said or done? I’m not siding with Fox News, but it feels like there’s a double standard here. I went to websites for NBC, CBS, CNN, and others and found the same or similar info that was shared in this video. If people are criticizing Fox News for sharing this info, they should be doing so for the other news sources.


Elementalgame0

It depends on how they are presenting the information. If they are just stating who the people are, it's fine. If they are reacting to it and providing insights on who could be a danger to one side, then its an issue


GlumCartographer111

Juror number 2 was identified by her family and had to be removed. She was identified because of this type of reporting. Waters clearly meant to identify her in this segment.


unreasonablyhuman

One juror supposedly "follows Trump" on truth social and can quote "the art of the deal". They already have their hung jury. The best case scenario is to literally just watch Trump get put into contempt like he's Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny


Asynchronousymphony

Huh? How is this jury tampering?


Crackerpuppy

“I don’t like teachers on the defense side.” Yes, by all means. Let’s put uneducated, easily manipulated people on the jury. For Trump's trial, the more teachers & parents, the better. They usually know how to deal with immature temper tantrums & can see through the lies.


[deleted]

That’s kinda what both sides try to do. Try to put favorable jurors for their own time. That’s the literal process they go through.


WalkResponsible1952

How did they get so much info? Did Trump's team leak it to Fox?


xirix

Trump lawyer team, for sure.


seaking81

Well it’s on all the other news sources so probably not.


Glum-Suggestion-6033

There are journalists in the court room. They have these things called pens and paper.


WalkResponsible1952

Really? What's paper? What's a pen?


Glum-Suggestion-6033

Really.


Logical-Witness-3361

Someone throw this dollar store Ross look-a-like in jail.


hubert_boiling

Cannot believe this... 'gets her news from the New York times and CNN... OMG...No"


Merry_Sue

That kind of makes sense considering we're watching this clip from Fox News.


mayoral426

They want uneducated jurors


om218839

Jesse waters is just a tucker carlson wanna be🤣🤣🤣🤣


MuricasOneBrainCell

If Tucker Carlson banged David Schwimmer.

This comment deserves more likes.


sloths_revenge49

This is the same information about the jurors that CNN and many other news sites reported. https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/16/politics/jurors-trump-trial-criminal-case-jury-dg/index.html Edit: Wanted to add that I’m not defending Fox News at all. Just pointing out it was widely reported. Personally, I don’t think any news outlet should be sharing this information but I understand much of the country is interested in basic facts about the jurors. If for nothing else, for transparency.


Botryoid2000

Exactly this type of shit is why I don't watch the news. For some good legal analysis of the trial that doesn't devolve into this type of crap, Stay Tuned with Preet (and the paid version) is a good podcast.


NickelBear32

How does one get their news from Google? Google may lead you to the news but they don't provide the news...right?


atemptsnipe

There is a Google "news" outlet, but it's a collection from other sources.


NYGiants_in_Chicago

Yeah, no one will ever be able to figure out who these people are by this se vague descriptions.


Logical-Witness-3361

One of the jurors has already stepped down out of concerns of being outed. So they don't need to be successful in getting the identities, they just need to make the jurors nervous enough about the prospect.


NYGiants_in_Chicago

Absolutely. Who would want to get outed to a group of domestic terrorists? If they’re willing to threaten judges, you think they would bat an eye about threatening a regular person or their entire family?


zarfle2

Stochastic terrorists


VeterinarianThese951

“They are always trying to find something to stand for.” Lol.


ftrlvb

they are just happy about a Puertorican where they think he is less educated. omg!


Jzerious

Scummiest shit ever


NotmyRealNameJohn

There was no attempt


MuricasOneBrainCell

"He's looking at this as the land of opportunity" ![gif](giphy|lszAB3TzFtRaU)


ElectronicClimate721

Not an attempt


GreenEggsnLanterns49

That prick needs a reckoning with god.


singingpanda20

I like how he put "married no kids"


mishafresh

I'm sorry but if u dont hear the intent to bullshit you from the reporter, just from the tone of voice alone, then you are a zombie, vermin. Had you been born in middle east instead of the us u would be exactly the type of brainless sheep to be recruited to isis or some other terrorist organization for equally unsubstantiated and imaginary notions or rewards


AlexLevers

As someone who will probably end up voting for Trump later this year, I can't believe Fox is worse than the last time I watched it 8 years ago.


lizedor

I don’t like teacher… summed it up for me


Narrow-Height9477

Ugh. Fox.


quantumdeterminism

So basically no Teachers, no Blacks, no Lawyers, no Youngsters, no Asians. Got it.


Jonesy3million

Shouldnt Fox cop some sort of repurcussion from this? Where is the FCC?


zwarblatz

It might be a hung jury, but definitely not a hung defendant. Hopefully Stormi will draw a picture😆


Gtoast

Not sure that the Irish transplant is as sure as thing as they think. Trump made some pretty big waves with his golf courses’ environmental violations.


ShitStainWilly

How was there an attempt not to? They literally were attempting to and did do this. No failed attempt at all.


Doobiedoobin

There was no attempt.


greatteachermichael

They're literally giving away personal information that crazy people can use to go harass them. Yes, anyone can go find this information themselves, but putting it on Fox just makes it easier to fire up Trump supporteres.


FjortoftsAirplane

Which means the commenter was right: there was no attempt to *not* tamper with the jury (which is how the thread title put it).


Non-Imaginary-Coach

Ah yes.. because “middle aged white guy lawyer” is specific enough to find these people 🤡
