Another lib-dude bites the dust: CBS fires Brad Kern

CBS has fire "NCIS: New Orleans" [pronounced Nawleens] show-runner Brad Kern after a multiple allegations of misconduct were investigated by an outside counsel, as opposed to law enforcement.

The left-leaning network's spokesperson told Fox News, "We have ended Brad Kern's role as consulting producer on 'NCIS: New Orleans' and his overall deal with the studio." In other words, they fired his misogynistic butt.

The news was first made public by The Hollywood Reporter. "Kern harassed and unfairly penalized women, repeatedly bullied a nursing mother and made racially insensitive statements," as well as other claims.

Last month Les Moonves, CBS's Chief Executive, resigned after no less that a dozen women came forward accusing him of sexual misconduct in an article by Ronan Farrow.

The Hollywood Reporter said that "several former 'NCIS: New Orleans' employees reached Monday said that they believe Kern would still be working at CBS" if Moonves wasn't gone.

CBS said after the Moonves dismissal that it would give $20 million to organizations "that support the #MeToo movement and equality for women in the workplace."

And to make CBS appear to be appalled and surprised.

Kern was initially accused of scumbaggery last December--the allegation was of sexual harassment and discrimination against a woman and using racially insensitive remarks in the workplace. CBS told Variety that investigators found evidence of "insensitive" and "offensive" comments, but nothing about any harassment or discrimination came up.

It didn't end there as more accusations caused CBS Television Studios to hire an independent investigator back in June "to look into allegations of harassment and misconduct," The Hollywood Reporter reported as reporters often do.

"My thoughts are with everyone who had worked for Mr. Kern who was unjustly fired, made miserable until they quit or otherwise endured unpleasantness." But it isn't clear if CBS plans to rehire those that fled. If they did, they would have bragged about it.

"I hope that this signals the end of the era of show-running he represented," an "NCIS: New Orleans" staffer told THR.
