And the hits just keep coming.... Charlie Rose is facing swift backlash from broadcast networks Monday after lurid allegations were launched against him by staffers. CBS has suspended him from “60 Minutes” — and both PBS and Bloomberg will discontinue their nightly airing of “Charlie Rose” — following the report published by The Washington Post. PBS said in a statement that they were “shocked to learn today of these deeply disturbing allegations.” “We are immediately suspending distribution of “Charlie Rose,” they added. PBS added, however, that Rose’s show is independently produced and not funded or supervised by the network. In a statement, Bloomberg said: “We are deeply disturbed to learn of these allegations and are immediately suspending the show from airing on Bloomberg TV.” At CBS — where Rose serves as a correspondent for “60 Minutes” — sources said his days were numbered. “This is pretty bad, we don’t think he can come back from this,” a source said. “He has been suspended, and it appears to be likely that more allegations could come out in the coming days, from current or former CBS employees.” link

The link on this story is to a N Y Post article. I much prefer other sources, as do many, so I pulled up the washington post article on this which I feel was much better done. www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/eight-women-say-charlie-rose-sexually-harassed-them--with-nudity-groping-and-lewd-calls/2017/11/20/9b168de8-caec-11e7-8321-481fd63f174d_story.html?utm_term=.8e46afaf0709Eight women say Charlie Rose sexually harassed them — with nudity, groping and lewd calls "Eight women have told The Washington Post that longtime television host Charlie Rose made unwanted sexual advances toward them, including lewd phone calls, walking around naked in their presence, or groping their breasts, buttocks or genital areas. The women were employees or aspired to work for Rose at the “Charlie Rose” show from the late 1990s to as recently as 2011. They ranged in age from 21 to 37 at the time of the alleged encounters. Rose, 75, whose show airs on PBS and Bloomberg TV, also co-hosts “CBS This Morning” and is a contributing correspondent for “60 Minutes.” There are striking commonalities in the accounts of the women, each of whom described their interactions with Rose in multiple interviews with The Post. For all of the women, reporters interviewed friends, colleagues or family members who said the women had confided in them about aspects of the incidents. Three of the eight spoke on the record.".

I did not need your permission.
But there is no comparison between the NY Post and the washingtonpost.
One is a tabloid and the other is one of the finest publications in the world.

Finest publications...in your opinion maybe. Some of my family who live in the D.C. area would beg to differ.
Either way...it's unbelievable how these harassment charges are stacking up...who will be next?

Well since you want it from the source how about we just us his own network. NEW YORK -- The wave of sexual abuse allegations that has been reported recently -- from Hollywood to Washington -- has now hit CBS News. Late Monday, CBS News suspended correspondent Charlie Rose after The Washington Post reported that eight women associated with his PBS program are accusing him of sexual harassment. The incidents reportedly took place from the late 1990s to 2011. Rose, who is 75, became a co-host of "CBS This Morning" in 2012 and has been a contributing correspondent for "60 Minutes" for nearly a decade. The eight women, according to the Washington Post, were either employees of Charlie Rose Inc., which produces the "Charlie Rose" show, or aspired to work for him there. They were not employees of CBS or PBS, where his interview show airs, or Bloomberg, where it's taped and rebroadcast. The allegations in the Washington Post article include Rose making unwanted sexual advances in the form of lewd phone calls, groping and walking around naked in front of the women. Five of the women described Rose putting his hand on their legs to test their reaction. Two said that while working for him at his home or while traveling on business he came out of the shower and walked naked in front of them. Rose told the Post in a statement: "I deeply apologize for my inappropriate behavior. I am greatly embarrassed. I have behaved insensitively at times, and I accept responsibility for that, though I do not believe that all of these allegations are accurate." CBS News issued a statement saying, "Charlie Rose is suspended immediately while we look into this matter. These allegations are extremely disturbing and we take them seriously." In addition to the CBS News suspension, late Monday afternoon, PBS and Bloomberg ended distribution of his talk show. link

Charlie Rose always seemed like a perv to me. Some of my friends never understood why I said that. He just puts something off that I don't like.

In amazing speed, the Rose case has taken another turn. Both CBS and PBS have fired Charlie Rose just 1 day after the original story broke. www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2017/11/21/cbs-fires-charlie-rose-following-sexual-assault-allegations/?utm_term=.91252212c971CBS fires, PBS ends relationship with Charlie Rose following allegations of unwanted sexual advances "CBS said Tuesday that it has fired Charlie Rose, and PBS announced it had ended its relationship with the 75-year-old broadcaster, following an extensive Washington Post report that detailed his alleged unwanted sexual advances toward women. His firing was announced by CBS News President David Rhodes, who wrote in a midday memo to the network’s staff that it was “effective immediately.” “Despite Charlie’s important journalistic contribution to our news division, there is absolutely nothing more important, in this or any organization, than ensuring a safe, professional workplace — a supportive environment where people feel they can do their best work,” Rhodes wrote. “We need to be such a place.” PBS also announced Tuesday it would terminate its relationship with Rose and cancel distribution of his programs “in light of yesterday’s revelations.” Rose’s namesake interview program is produced by Charlie Rose Inc., an independent television production company.".
