President James T. Aubrey Jr. followed suit for the entire CBS network, and so did President Thomas Moore of ABC although many CBS and ABC shows are independently produced. That left NBC and Emmy going steady by default, at least until May 25. The network rose gallantly to the occasion, tongue-lashing the girl's deserters-a "classic of sham and hypocrisy" and "an effective publicity stunt."
