Former FX VP of publicity Steve Webster pleaded no contest for continuing to secretly phone in to network conference calls after he'd been fired by FX, then sending faxes with the eavesdropped information to News Corp president Peter Chernin and THR. The LAT reports that Webster's lawyer told the court he was "unconditionally remorseful." This is an important test case—we already know that publicists are conditioned to lie, but can they feel remorse? Even if Webster is found to be really, really sorry by the legal system, further experiments will have to be conducted to see if flacks can be made to feel guilt without a judge or cop in the room. Failing that, perhaps the eventual autopsy will prove our pet theory that publicists lack the "remorse gland" that would drive normal people crazy from lying for a living.
