I would have said,as a news reporter, I understand how to be impartial. Even if I don't like someone, or didn't vote for them, I still have to be objective in reporting. I've exposed scandals about people I voted for and published evidence exonerating people I didn't vote for, at times in my career. Journalists rely on facts, and that's what would guide me as a juror, regardless of whether I like or dislike a defendant personally.
