either that person is entirely unonline or terminally online. like, i spend 25 hrs a day on the internet but i would also be blank across the board, because neither al jazeera nor hexbear are on the list

[-] AnarchoAnarchist@hexbear.net 26 points 6 months ago

Al Jazeera? Look at this normie!

I get all my news from random non-english telegram channels and leftist podcasts.

[-] hollowmines@hexbear.net 61 points 6 months ago

not that the trial matters at all but lmao at the idea that they found 24 people with (mostly) some kind of media diet and no pre existing opinions about donald trump. no honey you found 24 liars

I don't know--there are always pretty decent swaths of "swing voters," which implies that there are at least some people with such feebly held beliefs or such a high degree of obliviousness that they may not actually have firm opinions. Never underestimate the media illiteracy of amerikkka

Personally I think the idea that they're lying is the optimistic take.

[-] blobjim@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago

Or they just found 24 mildly racist rich people.

4 is a hexbear user

[-] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 58 points 6 months ago

4 and alt2 exclusively get their news from the hexbear mega

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 49 points 6 months ago

Surely feels like a pretty clear cut issue if one juror only gets news from a platform created by and in service of the defendant in a criminal trial.

Like this has to have been an issue in the past when bosses got to own whole towns, how is the system not filtering this juror out by default?

both-sides

more like hung juror with 4's big dick energy

but in all seriousness, what a clown show, trying to find 12 objective and apolitical people by taking calipers to their news media consumption

[-] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 38 points 6 months ago

I'm juror 4. Hexbear wasn't an option sans-shrug

No. 6: Facebook, Google, NYT, and Tiktok °~°

[-] absolutefuckinidiot@lemmygrad.ml 32 points 6 months ago

Lack of SeventyTwoTrillion hexbear news megathread as an option is proof this whole trial is bogus

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 29 points 6 months ago

idk if most of this means anything, but i do think it's funny that the daily mail, fox news, and msnbc all only have one viewer and it's the same person

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 28 points 6 months ago

What if I pressed all of them? smuglord

Juror 1 just wants to grill.
Juror 2 is gonna say something racist that ends up reuniting all the other jurors.
Juror 3 is a yuppie techbro that looks like Clark Kent.
Juror 4 just wants to get to the baseball game in time.

Gets a lot harder after that since there isn't that much heterogeneity amongst the lib media outlets to make a mapping to 12 Angry Men characters cogent at all.

I first found out about Iran striking Israel because someone posted "bye bye tel aviv" in the StarCraft 2 general chat

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 24 points 6 months ago

who cares? this is pageantry

[-] spectre@hexbear.net 34 points 6 months ago

It's comedy

[-] blobjim@hexbear.net 21 points 6 months ago

wtf no CGTN option? No CCTV? no PressTV? no telesur English? These people clearly don't represent salt-of-the-earth Americans.

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

Imagining Juror 4 and alt 2 are just Beavis and Butthead.

Beavis: Hehe, heh, hey Butthead, we got selected for jury duty

Butthead: Heheh, heh, what's jury duty?

Beavis: Heheh, you said doody

[-] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 6 months ago

Juror 4 might just be a very good liar
