Reuters maligns liberal jurors

A Feb. 14 Reuters article indicates an interesting difference in potential jury-selection strategies for the upcoming child molestation trial of Michael Jackson:

Legal experts say prosecutors will look for jurors who are older, conservative, less taken with celebrity, willing to accept authority and appalled by child molestation.

Jackson's attorneys may look for more liberal jurors who have advanced degrees and are critical thinkers who question authority.

There are a lot of ways to compare these lists, but as Best of the Web notes (third item), Reuters seems to give the impression that the liberal jurors are less likely to be appalled by child molestation.
