Even if you resent it, you have to appreciate when reality cuts against the pundit-promoted narrative of the moment.

On CNN today, it was revealed that it was the prosecution that ensured the jury would be composed primarily of white women. Why? One of the only black potential jurors being considered was nixed by the prosecution because he watched Fox News.
