A CBS anchor's visible shock that the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy triple murder mistrial was a Black man has drawn sharp criticism, and exposed the racial assumptions that pervade elite media. Gayle King was interviewing juror Paula Devlin on "CBS Mornings" Friday when Devlin revealed that the single juror who refused to join the other eleven had been the only Black person on the panel.

Hosts of The View drew sharp backlash on social media after a heated on-air debate over whether Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother whose murder trial ended in a mistrial, deserves punishment for strangling her three children.
