[See NewsBusters for more.] The journalists on CBS This Morning, Thursday, thrilled over the relatively mundane story of Barack Obama being called for jury duty. According to reporter Adriana Diaz, this prompted “glee” among other Chicago residents, hyping the “golden ticket” of being in the same room as the former President. Diaz gushed, “Yesterday, the typical groan associated with jury duty turned to glee when word spread that Mr. Obama would be reporting for his civic duty.” The reporter fawned over those who actually caught a glimpse of the Democrat: “The last time you had jury duty, chances are a chopper didn't capture your commute and fellow jurors, like Walter Palmer, didn't show off their summons like golden tickets.”
