Famous TV interviewer of world leaders, Charlie Rose, suspended by CBS News and PBS over sexual harassment allegations

This is really shocking. Charlie Rose has, or I should now say had, such a great stature as a top TV media reporter who would interview top political leaders across the globe. I have seen quite a few of his interviews and found them to be great.

Like USA Senator Al Franken, Charlie Rose has acknowledged some (not all of the behaviour alleged) inappropriate sexual behaviour and has apologized.
