CBS News fired its political director Steve Chaggaris amid allegations of “inappropriate behavior,” the network said on Wednesday. The Hollywood Reporter reported that the allegations were brought to light in the past two week. "In the last two weeks, accounts of inappropriate behavior by Steve Chaggaris were brought to our attention and were immediately investigated. As a result, CBS News has severed ties with Mr. Chaggaris for violating company policy, effective immediately," a statement from CBS obtained by the Reporter said. In his role, Chaggaris oversaw coverage of the Trump administration. He joined the company in 1999, the report said. His Twitter account was also deleted in the past two days, the report said. Chaggaris' termination comes less than two months after CBS suspended Charlie Rose from "CBS This Morning" after eight women accused him of sexual harrasment, following the Washington Post's report.

I do love the smell of the charred remains of once “reputable” MSM organizations in the morning !

[Enchante]

hmmmmm..... not so sure which team he bats for, he does set off the "Gaydar"....

[dangus]

I was just starting to think these were winding down...

[Darksheare]

Question, why does a news agency tasked with simply reporting facts need a “political director”?

[OrangeHoof]

So where do all these perv tv people go to once their employer cuts them loose? Granted, Matt Lauer and Charlie Rose won’t need another job but there are quite a few, I suppose, who still need to work and now have a scarlet “S” next to their names. Where do they go?

[Enchante]

ha haaa.... how quaint, you think they are about “simply reporting facts”..... :^)

[KevinB]

Yikes, based on that picture I’m guessing there was not a woman involved.

[Enchante]

Harvey Swinestein can start a new movie studio for all of them, making movies with pervs only.... he can be the auteur of the pornography industry.

[Enchante]

That was my thought, too, rofl.... I did notice that the articles so far were very vague and non-specific about possible objects of his, uh, passions....

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Hey Dangus. You’ve got CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and their derivative networks/shows to clean up and out - Sexual harassers, commies, black racists, know-nothings, and weirdos.

That’s a lifetime job. Sit back and enjoy the slaughter.

That sounds like code for something....

Hope I'm wrong.....

[Darksheare]

No, just pointing out that is what they’re supposed to be doing.
Kinda like politicians upholding and defending the Constitution

[Doogle]

MSNBC.... sweeping floors...???...maybe

[OKSooner]

They go pass the bar and become lawyers?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Lemme guess: he asked out female co-workers who were not attracted to him.

[tired&retired]

Maybe this is God tweeking the opposition to self destruct.

I must be getting old, or, maybe it’s the makeup? Chaggaris looks like a 20 yr. old kid.
