Katie Couric's Producer Supposedly Leaving
Ryan Tate · 05/07/08 10:10PM"[CBS News] Spokeswoman Kelly Halyard insists: 'Sean McManus asked [producer] Rick [Kaplan] to consider taking some time off to rest after working two jobs for the past 11 weeks. After his week off, Kaplan will transition back into his full-time role as the executive producer of the CBS Evening News and CBS News' election coverage.' Counters our source: 'Total bunk.' Our insider suspects this to be PR spin to keep Katie's situation from looking any worse. If Rick actually does return to the Evening News, 'he won't be there long. They are just spinning.'" [Jossip]
