"Anybody with a webcam and something to say, regardless of whether it's true or not, can say it on YouTube," complained a Lockheed spokeswoman.

...gift bags will still be given out at this year's Emmys, however. A TV Academy spokeswoman says that the letters informed presenters of the tax consequences and guidelines of accepting swag. After that, it?s between a presenter and his or her accountant. ?For this year?s Emmys, it?s happening,? she says of the gift bags. ?It?s premature to have any decision or conversation right now about what will happen in the future...
