The expression dates to 1823, well before Dr. Mudd:

I agree that Roger Mudd retired early rather than work under the new generation of executives who wanted news anchors with younger faces who were willing to compromise their reporting at the direction of corporate management.

I did not remember this interview, but it does not surprise me that east coast intellectual news executives would not forgive a reporter/anchor who unrelentingly put the heir to Camelot in an awkward spot. I can imagine Mudd doing this with a completely deadpan face in expectation of a straight answer. The press in general always places any member of the Kennedy clan on the same pedestal with Jack, and fiercely defends them.

I guess he couldn’t stand listening to Stella anymore.
