Okay, I see now that I misunderstood - the judge mentioned them, but he didn't gag them. Too bad!

"Judge Al Girolami of Stanislaus County Superior Court, citing the "massive" media interest in the case, ordered defense attorneys, prosecutors, police and potential witnesses from sharing their opinions with reporters or releasing any evidence.

"Besides extensive local television and radio coverage, the national television media has embraced this case with a passion, providing frequent commentaries from notables like Larry King, Geraldo Rivera and Katie Couric," Girolami wrote in his six-page ruling.

In issuing the gag order, the judge noted that even Peterson's lead attorney, Mark Geragos of Los Angeles, regularly discussed the case on cable news programs before he was retained to defend Peterson on charges of murdering his wife, Laci, and their unborn son."

Thanks for the clarification--I re-read the article, and couldn't find where Geraldo had been gagged--wondered if I'd missed something.

But I agree. He should have been. And not just on this case. :)

Thanks for the excerpt.

I guess Greta hasn't risen to the "notables" level...

(I still have hopes that Fox is a good influence on some of these reporters, like Greta...)
