NEW YORK: Charlie Rose, one of America’s most respected broadcasters, an award-winning television host and interviewer, was suspended Monday after eight women accused him of years of sexual harassment and unwanted advances. Almost immediately, public broadcaster PBS moved to suspend distribution of the “Charlie Rose” show. CBS, where Rose co-hosts “CBS This Morning” and is a contributing correspondent for “60 Minutes,” followed suit. “Charlie Rose is suspended immediately while we look into this matter. “The alleged behavior is very concerning and not in keeping with the standards and values of The New York Times,” a statement read.
