Sorry Charlie, no more good times

CBS, Bloomberg and PBS have now fired talk show host and leftist journalist Charlie Rose on Tuesday after eight women accused him of sexual harassment and unwanted advances in a report in The Washington Post.  

"A short time ago we terminated Charlie Rose's employment with CBS News, effective immediately," a CBS statement posted on Twitter by CBS News President David Rhodes read. "This followed the revelation yesterday of extremely disturbing and intolerable behavior said to have revolved around his PBS program."

PBS also issued a statement announcing its professional divorce with Rose whose self-titled show began airing in 1991.

"In light of yesterday's revelations, PBS has terminated its relationship with Charlie Rose and cancelled distribution of his programs. PBS expects all the producers we work with to provide a workplace where people feel safe and are treated with dignity and respect," PBS said.

Bloomberg TV also confirmed that it severed ties with Rose but had no comment as male staff sweated profusely even as the weather grows colder.

Rose, 75, allegedly groped women acquaintances and walked around in his birthday suit in their presence. The women were either employees at the "Charlie Rose" show or had hopes of working for the show.

Rose apologized, said he feels embarrassed, and he hopes everything will go away.
