  • Charlie Rose Suspended From CBS and PBS

    Really all these liberal men, upholders of women's rights - they are serial perverts...

    CBS News suspends Charlie Rose following sexual harassment report

    NEW YORK -- CBS News said Monday evening that "CBS This Morning" anchor Charlie Rose has been suspended following a report in the Washington Post in which eight women accused him of sexual harassment. PBS and Bloomberg also halted production and distribution of his talk show, "Charlie Rose."

      It is all a big mistake - these leftist men were just trying to comfort the ladies in their own particular ways...

        I find it humorous that the same people who threw traditional sexual morality out the window are suddenly becoming the prudes...

          "It's just sex."

          Wasn't that the line they used to defend Slick Willie?

          Anyway, I assume these are credible accusations if he's been suspended... or is it a knee-jerk reaction from increasingly squeamish liberals?

            Read the article.

              Too much work. I'd rather you just tell me.

              Anyway...

              Rose posted a statement on Twitter saying, "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 take responsibility for that, though I do not believe that all of these allegations are accurate. I always felt that I was pursuing shared feelings, even though I now realize I was mistaken."

              That sounds like a confession to me.

                Especially by walking around naked in front of them.

                And it looks like CBS, PBS, and Bloomberg have all fired him now.

                  He should try the Al Franken defense:

                  "It was a joke! I sexually assaulted her! Get it? Hahaha!"

                    This is about men coming to terms with what women have always known and always had to put up with. It has nothing to do with prudishness.

                    “By claiming that “all of us” are coming to a new understanding of harassment during this particular cultural moment, Rose ignores the fact that plenty of women have always known harassment was a problem. Even if they didn’t name it as such, they knew their own experiences, and they certainly knew when the actions of powerful men put their safety, their wellbeing, or their work at risk.”

                      Momma always taught us that a real apology does not contain "but" or "though" or explanations.

                      In fact, she said it only needs to be "I am sorry - I was wrong".
                      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                        I remember hearing once that if an apology includes a "but" that basically means that everything before it was B.S.

                          Yup, that's a 'major' in marriage counseling --- "I'm sorry... but you never should have....." and we're back to the races!

                            It's kinda like somebody starting off with "With all due respect....." - they're about to show you very little.

                              It came from someone I knew who dealt with people who's drug and/or alcohol addiction caused them to really, really screw up (like killing someone drunk driving). He said if they added a "but" in there they were still avoiding taking responsibility for their actions.
