  Walters, Barbara
Although Barbara Walters would later downplay her relationship with the feminist movement, her early career is marked by a number of moves that were in part responsible for breaking down the all-male facade of U.S. network news.
Walters began her career in broadcast journalism as a writer for CBS News.
According to Walters, she was not allowed to write for the male correspondents or to ask questions in "male-dominated" areas such as economics or politics, and she was forbidden to interview guests on-camera until all of the men on Today had finished asking questions.

 00-4107 -- U.S. v. Walters -- 10/31/2001
Walters argues that it is fundamentally unfair for the government to make an affirmative representation that the gun was not stolen, to contend that it was operating under an "open file" policy, and then to fail to forward a subsequent report showing that the gun was likely stolen.
Walters counters that "when he was considering his decision to change his plea [from not guilty to guilty] he did so under the mistaken belief that the 2K2.1(b)(4) enhancement would not apply." However, he does not establish that anyone gave him assurances that the 2K2.1(b)(4) enhancement would not apply.
Walters contends he relied on both the government's first representation that the gun was not stolen and the government's failure to correct that misunderstanding when he pled guilty.
