Here is the MAIN thing to remember in the days ahead..

He imposed a range of sweeping restrictions, including forbidding public comments about the "existence or possible existence of any document, exhibit, photograph or any other evidence" that could be admitted into evidence. Parties also are directed not to identify prospective witnesses or make statements about the substance or effect of any testimony provided in court.
The order does allow people to quote or refer to public documents related to the case.

IOW's all that we will hear now from RELIABLE parties is a re-hash of docs. already public knowledge.
Here is the PROBLEM
Gag orders, however, "might change the tone of what people are hearing," Jones said. "They will rely on people on CNN who have no knowledge of the facts of the case."

Most people will tune into LKL or Court TV and start accepting everything out of their mouths as the gospel truth...

Feiger was almost doing a dance last night.....saying "WE" are what you will be listening to for awhile!

Going to be interesting. The main muzzled newsies can only report on the gag order for so long....and THEN what?

This is going to be interesting to watch.
