Rittenhouse Judge Bans MSNBC From Courtroom Over Alleged Attempt to Photograph Jurors

<p>The judge in <a href="https://www.allsides.com/story/perspectives-kyle-rittenhouse-trial">Kyle Rittenhouse's trial</a> banned MSNBC from the courtroom for the remainder of the trial Thursday after a freelance journalist for the network was cited for allegedly running a red light while trying to photograph jurors.</p> <p><a href="http://twitter.com/KenoshaPolice/status/1461378664503906314">According to Kenosha Police Department</a>, a man who was suspected of "trying to photograph jurors" was issued "several traffic related citations" Wednesday.&nbsp;The man reportedly&nbsp;claimed to be a journalist for MSNBC and said he was told by a superior to follow a bus carrying the jurors.&nbsp;Police said "there was no breach of security regarding the jury, nor were there any photographs obtained." Judge Bruce Schroeder said Thursday that the man ran a red light in pursuit of the bus; he&nbsp;had <a href="https://www.allsides.com/news/2021-11-17-1650/rittenhouse-judge-criticizes-media-coverage-trial">previously complained</a> about the media's "“grossly irresponsible handling”&nbsp;of the courtroom situation and trial. An NBC News spokesperson said&nbsp;"the freelancer never contacted or intended to contact the jurors during deliberations, and never photographed or intended to photograph them." Jurors concluded a third day of deliberations Thursday without reaching a verdict, and will resume deliberating on Friday morning.</p> <p>The news was covered across the spectrum Thursday. Right-rated outlets covered the story more prominently and often framed it as an example of media bias. Some coverage from left- and center-rated sources highlighted Schroeder's complaints about the media and other examples of purportedly questionable behavior from him.</p>
