This is the best example of journalistically-acceptable character assassination I've seen from the media in a long time.
Clash gets accused by someone of having a relationship of some kind with a minor. The accusation is vetted by his employer, who says it's unfounded, but does find he didn't follow company Internet policies, for which he's disciplines. Clash says he wants to take some time off to deal with this crap, and his employer gives it to him. And this turned into this headline on CNN: "Voice of Elmo on leave after denying 'underage contact' with teen." Yahoo News has: "Elmo puppeteer accused of underage relationship." I don't watch TV news, but I'm sure those chyrons are very similar. Which office does Kevin Clash go to get his reputation back? -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
