Fox News: CBS News Fires Charlie Rose

EXCERPT:

SMITH: “Stunning new allegations again rocking the media world. CBS’s flagship morning show without one of its hosts today. The network initially suspending Charlie Rose over sexual misconduct allegations, and now we are just learning that he has been fired. Eight women who came forward to ‘The Washington Post’ accused the veteran newsman of various misconduct including groping, walking naked in front of them, and telling one of them he dreamed about her swimming  nude. The women ranging in ages from 21 to 37 were employees or sought to work for Rose at the 'Charlie Rose Show' which airs on PBS. Says the former assistant: ‘It has taken ten years and a fierce moment of cultural reckoning for me to understand these moments for what they were. He was a sexual predator and I was his victim.’ In a statement, Rose says in part, ‘It is essential that these women know I hear them and that 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. I was felt I was pursuing shared feelings even though I now realize I was mistaken.’"
