WNU Editor: I was shocked to read this story. I have been watching the Charlie Rose Show since the late 1990s. And while I usually disagreed with him, his show always had fascinating and interesting people to watch and listen to. Until last year .... my routine was to go to bed at 11:30 PM, turn on the TV, and watch his show until I fell asleep .... usually waking up a few hours later to close the TV because I had fallen asleep. And when I had the GF over, or I was traveling and/or staying in Moscow, I always made sure that his program was taped, so that when I got back to Montreal I had scores of his episodes to watch. Sighhhh .... I know that his career is now over. His show will not be brought back. Another icon destroyed because of his personal weaknesses and stupidity.
