Jury selection concluded on Monday in a Florida courthouse in the defamation trial against CNN.

Here are the best moments from the selection of prospective jurors:

Prospective Juror 1 Dislikes the Media

Juror 1 told the Bay County Circuit Court he could not be impartial because he dislikes the media, “especially CNN,” according to Media Research Center Associate Editor Nicholas Fondacaro and Fox News’ Brian Flood.

Juror 1 later doubled down on his “dislike” for the media, saying CNN is “fake news.” At least six other prospective jurors expressed the belief that CNN “creates fake news.”

Prospective Juror 4 Avoids CNN

Juror 4 said that “they intentionally avoid[] CNN” before saying, according to Fondacaro’s reporting, that CNN is “just as bad as every other media outlet.”

Prospective Juror 23 Calls Out ‘Victim’ Minded Media

Juror 23 said he was unable to be impartial because he believes “media outlets think they can say whatever they want” and “pretend to be the victim when they’re called on it,” according to Fondacaro. The juror reportedly added that “almost everything I see on [CNN] … I see it a different way.”

I can be just as fair to CNN as CNN was to J6 protestors.
