In the latest jury I was on, someone objected to something written in the NYTimes as being partisan. Well, yes the times can be partisan, but in this case they were complementary toward the democrat, not insulting. I could not figure out why the person was objecting, they said it was insulting and I think they must have read it wrong. Since every single time I sign on here, I get called on jury, I think there is learning process on what to report, why would you report a complement?
