PBS has cancelled Charlie Rose in the wake of multiple claims of sexual harassment against the titular host.
In a statement, the cabler said:
“PBS was shocked to learn today of these deeply disturbing allegations. We are immediately suspending distribution of ‘Charlie Rose. ‘ … PBS does not fund this nightly program or supervise its production, but we expect our producers to provide a workplace where people feel safe and are treated with dignity and respect. “

Charlie Rose is a boring POS person. I never understood why he was still employed in any media. Hope a bunch of lesbians find him harassing a teenage girl and beat him up good.

I love how anybody can just claim sexual harassment and is instantly assumed to be guilty if they are a male. Certainly not condoning bad behavior but what if the accuser has a vested interest or wants retaliation for some unrelated and possibly perceived wrong-doing? Since when did we become a nation of “guilty as long as someone, anyone says you are”?
TV Viewer says
Charlie Rose has admitted his guilt in harassing women. There was no place on his PBS show where a person could file a complaint if they wanted to. He ran it like he was the judge and jury of accusers.
Most of the time, when a person is a habitual predator like Charlie Rose, there is plenty of evidence to prove it, and when an innocent person is wrongly accused, the people will defend them,
CBS News and PBS News must have a lot of knowledge of Charlie Rose’s behavior and that is why they dropped him as fast as they did.
Most of the time, a false accusation will fade away quick, while a truthful accusation will stick like glue.
In virtually all of these recent accusations, the people who work with them, know they are guilty and will not defend their behavior anymore. In many of the instances, they were probably warned over and over again, their actions would catch up to them sooner or later, and the people just kept on doing what they wanted to do.
I have faith that the innocent will go free by reason of their behavior on and off camera, and the guilty will be convicted by the weight of evidence against them.

My only question is this, if Charlie Rose has been known to be a “known Sexual Abuser”, then why was he still on television? Shouldn’t executives fired him the first time he was accused. It shows me that there are things going on this country that protects those that are protected.
If it were me, I would have been hung out to dry. Where’s the justice.
Matie says
I agree they are protected because of the revenue they bring to the network. I believe everyone is aware of what’s going on..
