Racism & Misogyny: Another Huge Scandal Rocks CBS

First there was Leslie Moonves, forced to walk the plank after a sex scandal. Then came Charlie Rose, followed by the head of "60 Minutes." And now another huge scandal has hit the Eye Network in the U.S.

Sounds like these guys took management lessons from our former Gov.-Gen. Julie Payette. What an incredible story this is from such a major American network, especially in this politically sensitive day and age. It's incredible they got away with it for so long.

Re: Racism & Misogyny: Another Huge Scandal Rocks CBS

I wondered how CBS News would deal with this story and to my surprise, I saw the WCBS-TV cast at 5 PM, and they did an extensive package on it. (Both of the accused men were in charge of WCBS, along with other local CBS stations.) They interviewed current and former employees, who were careful in what they said, but essentially seemed to confirm the stories. 

The fact they haven't been outright fired given the weight of the allegations against them is telling. But I'm guessing it's only a matter of time.
