"Well it is true that a fair trial is only possible with an unbiased jury"

I'm pretty sure that 99% of the U.S. population isn't following this story at all, so finding a dozen jurors who have never heard of the case shouldn't be too difficult, even if the media were allowed to write about it without any limitations.

And when it's time to select the jury, I'm sure the prosecution will summarily reject any potential jurors who know anything about the internet (like what a URL is), since such a person could never be convinced that linking to a publicly available document is a crime.
