COMMENTS: Halderman’s Gag Order
The day's celebrity in the news was David Letterman, the late-night TV host, who used his Late Show desk last fall to accuse a CBS News producer of trying to blackmail him. All three newscasts covered the charges when they were made. Now NBC's Rehema Ellis and CBS' Jeff Glor rerun Letterman's soundbite--"I have had sex with women who work for me on this show"--and bring us the denouement: Joe Halderman pleads guilty and apologizes and faces a six-month jail sentence. "As part of the plea agreement, he cannot discuss or profit in any way from this case," NBC's Ellis concluded. ABC mentioned the case only in passing.
