This is just another example of EXAGGERATION and SENSATIONALISM attempting to be used to SELL the "news". This seems to be THE ONLY method the media understands. Here is another example on the home front, less serious but exaggerated just the same. I WATCHED PERSONALLY the LIVE interview with Juror #5 when he was dismissed and came out of the Laci courtroom. Among other things, when he was asked about Scots guilt he replied, "up till now I dont think the Prosecution has presented a case sufficient to establish Scot's guilt in MY MIND." He REPEATEDLY said that he could not and would not attempt to estimate what the other jurors where thinking. Last night on the news the report was JUROR #5 was a dingbat who is totally on Scot's side and finds him innocent. That is a misrepresentation of what he said and likely what he thinks until he would have heard the rest of the case, but they ran with it and even embellished it as the evening progressed. THE WORST offenders were two people on O'Reilly's show wit O'reilly cheering them on. jdn
