From reading the blurb, it sounds like some wayward staff members broke the rules of the show itself in regards to guests. But it just shows how low some shows will go in order to get an exclusive.
The case involves a group of seven teenagers who beat the living snot out of one girl and videotaped it. They put the tape up on YouTube, and got in trouble for it. Currently, they are going to be tried as adults.
Some staff members, in an attempt to secure ringleader Mercades Nichols as a guest on the show, they bailed her out of jail and tried to block local press from taking pictures of her citing "exclusivity."
The statement from the show:
"In this case, certain staff members went beyond our guidelines (re the bail being paid). These staff members have been spoken to and our policies reiterated. In addition, we have decided not to go forward with the story as our guidelines have been compromised."
All it does is teach the girl that she will get famous from this, regardless of how she is seen on the tape. And since the show is not going to be doing an episode about it because of the issues surrounding her release, she doesn't feel any consequences for her actions, either.
Hell of a world we live in, isn't it?
