CBS misses the David Letterman story

Award-winning CBS news producer Robert Joe Halderman is under arrest, charged with attempting to extort late night host David Letterman.  The producer was allegedly going to expose Letterman for having sexual relations with members of his staff. Letterman admitted having sex with employees on his show last night.  The big question is: how does the CBS news division report on one of the biggest stars of the CBS Entertainment division?

One thing CBS should NOT have done was air an episode of "48 Hours Mystery" on the following Saturday night titled, "Show Me the Money".

Accused Robert "Joe" Halderman has been widely reported as being a producer on the series, and this episode dealt with a robbery conspiracy.

the higher UP you go...the more teh law works FOR you! anybody other than letterman would be swamped in sexual harrassment charges as well. CBS rallied around him: "no internal misconduct was apparent..letterman did NOT violate CBS internal policy" SHEER RUBBISH. even students should NOT sleep with Professors to get merely better grades...what to talk about career jobs like this.

The content of this field is required, but will be kept private and will not be shown publicly.
