Juror 2 gets their news from Truth Social, only person on the panel to do so, reports @nytimes

This is highly misleading.

Here is EXACTLY what juror No. 2 said.

Because he's an investment banker, "I read basically everything," he said.

"I am on Twitter. I follow TruthSocial posts from Trump on Twitter. I do follow Michael Cohen, Mueller She Wrote, and some more."

Disgraced Stormy Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti has been in contact with former President Trump’s legal defense team and is ready and willing to testify against his former client, he told The Post in an interview from jail.

“The defense has contacted me,” Avenatti told The Post in a phone call from Terminal Island, a minimum-security federal prison in Los Angeles where he is currently serving a 19-year sentence for extortion, tax evasion, fraud, embezzlement and other federal crimes.

“I’d be more than happy to testify, I don’t know that I will be called to testify, but I have been in touch with Trump’s defense for the better part of year,” Avenatti said.

The ex-litigator refused to offer any details about the specifics of his conversations with Team Trump.

A person close to the former president confirmed the ongoing discussions.

Man dies after setting himself on fire outside Trump trial courthouse

A man has died after setting himself on fire outside the New York courthouse where Donald Trump’s hush-money trial is taking place.

The New York City police department said on Saturday the man had been declared dead by staff at an area hospital.

Officials had said earlier the man, who was in his late 30s, was in critical condition.

The New York police department said the man, who they identified as Max Azzarello of St Augustine, Florida, did not appear to be targeting Trump or others involved in the trial.

Witnesses said the man pulled pamphlets out of a backpack and threw them in the air before he doused himself with a liquid and set himself on fire on Friday. One of those pamphlets included references to “evil billionaires” but portions that were visible to a Reuters witness did not mention Trump.

“Right now we are labelling him as sort of a conspiracy theorist, and we are going from there,” Tarik Sheppard, a deputy commissioner with the police department, said at a news conference.

I mean, I do get news articles from there, but does that mean I get my "news" from twitter? If I see a tweet from a journalist or an aritcle from a publication, I'll click the link and read the article from WP or NYT or Atlantic or wherever. Sometimes I go to those outlets in general and poke around on articles there (I subscribe to all), but more often I read an article I saw that someone else posted.

I wonder what people mean when they say this. And I really wonder about saying you get your news from Google. Do they have alerts set for certain topics? None of these sources are news sources per se. Unless people think that a tweet from some nobody goober is "news."
