The push back against sexual harassment has claimed another scalp.

CBS News has fired Charlie Rose, one of the most prominent American interviewers, the day after the Washington Post reported the television host had sexually harassed eight women.

Rose was a co-host on the morning show CBS This Morning, and a correspondent for its long-running Sunday night news magazine 60 Minutes.

CBS News President David Rhodes says the revelations involving the 75-year-old Rose are extremely disturbing.
