The people on the jury are in a better position of course, because they are shown evidence determined to be appropriate by law. The tv can show whatever they want and blur things and make inferences and innuendos.
Anyone remember the Scott Peterson trial? There was a day leading up to it where pictures from Petersons house were released to the media, and Nancy Grace had them. She showed a picture of an open phonebook on the kitchen counter and insisted that it was opened to Lawyers and claimed that it was evidence that Peterson knew he would be needing a lawyer. She went on for hours about it.
Next day it was revealed that it was open to Pizza as they had friends over for pizza that day.
People on the jury are absolutely in a better (meaning appropriate) position.
