CBS suspends Rose, PBS halts his show following allegations

Source: Associated Press

Associated PressNovember 20, 2017

NEW YORK (AP) — PBS says it is immediately halting distribution of Charlie Rose's interview program and CBS News suspended him following The Washington Post's report of eight women who accused the veteran newsman of multiple unwanted sexual advances and inappropriate behavior.

The women, three of whom spoke on the record in the deeply-reported story, accused Rose of groping them, walking naked in front of them and relating an erotic dream.

Rose told the Post that he was "deeply embarrassed" and apologized for his behavior.

Rose's PBS show features his in-depth interviews with newsmakers. The 75-year-old journalist is one of three hosts of "CBS This Morning" and is also a contributor to "60 Minutes."

what is surely dozens if not hundreds of women who could tell stories.

I mean the guy has now made it legal and encourages hunters to go to Africa and kill elephants and bring the trophies back here.

He is a vile pile of human garbage and so is EVERY fucking person who supports him.

Yet the misogynist and sexual harasser Trump remains unscathed.

Men who engage in sexual harassment must be held accountable, but that accountability must be consistent.

There should be a very open and thorough investigation of all things Trump, including the sexual allegations (from 14 women?). But I doubt it will happen. Now that these dark forces have a stranglehold on power, expecting equal and fair play is a pipe dream.

I wish there were easy answers that guarantee success, but I don’t know of any. Having said that, this from Noam Chomsky (I add this to make me feel better):

“If you assume that there is no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world.”

Keep hope alive!
