CBS News suspended Charlie Rose while PBS and Bloomberg will halt distribution of his show after The Washington Post published an extensive report Monday detailing alleged unwanted sexual advances toward women by the award-winning journalist. On Monday afternoon PBS, which has aired Rose’s eponymous show since 1991, said it was shocked by the allegations. “We are immediately suspending distribution of ‘Charlie Rose,’ ” said a PBS spokesperson in a written statement. These allegations are extremely disturbing and we take them very seriously,” a CBS News spokesperson said in a written statement. The eponymous show is produced by Charlie Rose, Inc., an independent television production company.
