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.

8 Women say Charlie Rose sexually harassed them

It now appears that there are more men in media and politics alleged to have engaged in sexual misconduct or illegal sexual conduct than men who haven't. 

Some of the exceptions to date are: Father Jonathan Morris of Fox News, Dick Van Dyke, Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Jim Nabors, Monty Hall, Bob Newhart, Billy Graham, Alex Trebek, Nehemiah Persoff, and Bob Barker. 

And while these men are exceptions to what now appears to be the rule that "boys will be boys," no one can say with absolute certainty that even these men have an untainted past and have never committed sexual misconduct. What we can say for sure is that in the past ten years, they never committed an act of sexual impropriety or misconduct.

Now the latest news comes from The Washington Post

Ancient television host Charlie Rose is being accused by no less than eight (8) women at last count, that he had made unwanted sexual advances toward them, but never simultaneously.

The advances included lewd phone calls [in which he would refer to the woman as 'mommy' while he wore a leather thong and a tutu] walking around naked in front of them (but not simultaneously), groping their breasts, buttocks or genital areas.

According to The Washington Post, the women were either employees or aspired to work for the leech at the "Charlie Rose" show. The time period was from the late 1990s to 2011. The women ranged in age from 21 to 37 when the alleged behavior occurred.

The stories of the women are quite corroborative in that there are commonalities in their accounts of what occurred. Each woman spoke separately to the newspaper in multiple interviews and reporters at The Post also interviewed family members, colleagues and friends who said the women had confided in them about aspects of the incidents. 

Three of the eight women spoke on the record, the remaining five feared professional retribution due to Rose's stature in the industry and his volatile temper, so they remained anonymous.

"In my 45 years in journalism, I have prided myself on being an advocate for the careers of the women with whom I have worked," Rose said in a statement. "Nevertheless, in the past few days, claims have been made about my behavior toward some former female colleagues.

"It is essential that these women know I hear them and that I deeply apologize for my inappropriate behavior. I am greatly embarrassed [now that I've been caught]. I have behaved insensitively at times, [that is, whenever I thought I could get away with it] and I accept responsibility for that, though I do not believe that all of these allegations are accurate [especially the one about the leather thong]. I always felt that I was pursuing shared feelings [in spite of the women screaming and trying to escape], even though I now realize I was mistaken [naively believing they'd keep their mouths shut].

"I have learned a great deal as a result of these events [so some good came out of it for me], and I hope others will too. All of us, including me, are coming to a newer and deeper recognition of the pain caused by conduct in the past, and have come to a profound new respect for women and their lives [which I never had before, thinking I could use them like my online porn account]."

One of the women, Reah Bravo, was an intern and became associate producer for Rose's PBS show beginning in 2007. She described unwanted sexual advances while working for the scum wafer at his private waterfront estate in Bellport, New York, and while traveling with him by auto, in a hotel suite and on a private plane.

"It has taken ten years and a fierce moment of cultural reckoning for me to understand these moments for what they were," Bravo told The Post. "He was a sexual predator and I was his victim."

Kyle Godfrey-Ryan, a then 21-year-old assistant to Rose in the mid-2000s, spoke of at least a dozen instances where Rose walked naked in front of her while she worked in one of his New York City homes.

It's interesting that most of those being accused, are calling their behavior a mistake. Those in politics are refusing to resign and the issue has become partisan, which it isn't.

What it is, is disgusting.

"Mister America, tear down this madrassa"

The angry left is tearing down statues of Confederate soldiers and their leaders because they believe those men advocated for slavery. They even want to go further with the tearing down and include such historical figures as the founding fathers.

Yale is removing a stone carving depicting a Puritan settler aiming a musket at a Native American. The 88-year-old carving on Sterling Memorial Library will be moved to another location.

In fact, Yale earlier this year renamed Calhoun College because John C. Calhoun was not just a former Vice President, he was a slavery supporter.

The Charlottesville City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday morning to cover the city's statues of Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson in black fabric to represent the city's mourning of Heather Heyer, who was killed when a white supremacist intentionally mowed her down in his car.

In the confederate statues debate, libtard and political commentator Al Sharptongue is taking the whole thing personally--screw whatever the public thinks--it's not about them, it's about Sharptongue.

During a recent interview with PBS's Charlie Rose (see video) Sharptongue said that he doesn't want his tax dollars to support monuments honoring even men who owned slaves. He got specific with the Thomas Jefferson Memorial in Washington D.C. 

The irony is, Sharpton owes about a million dollars in taxes he refuses to pay. Obama protected him in the past. Let's hope Trump will end that protection in the present.

"This is personal to us. My great grandfather was a slave in South Carolina," the tax evading Sharpton said. "People need to understand that people were enslaved."

I don't know why Sharptongue thinks everyone skipped that class in school.

But nobody on the left seems to care about the one religion that through their practices and scripture continues to promote slavery, misogyny and attacks basic human rights.

Take a guess which religion I'm referring to . . . 

Yes, it's Islam. And we have to ask ourselves why are we looking the other way when a religion practices slavery and forced marriages of young girls to old men.

The prophet of Islam, Muhammad, made sex slaves from the wives of the men he killed. He also enslaved the children and promoted anti-Semitism. 

Why are we allowing American Muslim children and adults to be taught that this is okay? 

Who in America will stand up against modern slavery instead of going after men who were a product of their culture and times? 

Why aren't these same leftists tearing down of madrassas and mosques that advocate slavery, misogyny and hatred of the American way of life as opposed to Sharia which clearly goes against our values?

Let me be clear: I am not talking about individual Muslims who live as normal Americans. 

I'm talking about those who have no problem with some of the teachings of the Quran that has inspired slavery, anti-Semitism and yes, terrorism.

Where's Antifa when it comes to real fascism by religion? Where are the women's organizations in America when it comes to female genital mutilation and basic women's rights denied to them in Islam?

And why do only black lives matter to some, but not all lives, and certainly not Jewish lives to some on the alt left and alt right.
