In a statement, CBS News brass said that Rose was fired over "extremely disturbing and intolerable behavior said to have revolved around his PBS program."

Rose had originally just been suspended by CBS and PBS, but the networks moved quickly after the Washington Post spoke to several women who complained of Rose having made lewd phone calls — and even exposed himself while nude!

Others, however, mocked the idea that CBS, PBS or Bloomberg had to investigate the "new" charges. "Read the Post article again," said one insider, "and you'll see that most women harassed by Charlie already had people at the network warning them about the guy!"
