It’s another black eye for Black Rock.

A week after CBS host Charlie Rose was outed as an alleged serial sex harasser, one of the network’s former producers says she was told by a boss that she would have to sleep with coworkers to get anywhere in the company.

“I was in a state of shock,” said Erin Gee, 44, who worked for CBS for 17 years and recently filed a Manhattan federal suit alleging rampant sex discrimination at the network.

Gee said one of the most offensive incidents occurred in 2011, when she was talking with her boss at “CBS Evening News,” Robert Klug, about a workplace dispute.

Klug, now 58, said “she should ‘have sex’ with [the] video editor who had been difficult to work with to ‘break the ice,’ ” according to court papers.

Not surprising. David Letterman admitted to serious sexual harassment - in his case there was plenty of evidence. Seems the person who exposed it ended up in jail, accused of trying to blackmail Letterman or something like it.

Letterman continue with his show as if nothing had happened.

Letterman used an employee or intent in skits for a few years. Brown hair. He was having sex with her and I believe married at the time. When the story broke her name was mentioned and she left the show. Don’t know the circumstances.

I know of one woman I worked with who slept with the CEO to get ahead ,and who was nearly 30 years older.
Today she is in charge of that company at that location, and is a feminazi/liberal.

17 years ago they were saying that Clinton had been wronged by a witchhunt and that Clinton-Gore should continue in the 2000 election cycle.

It wasn’t a good time to bring up workplace sexual harassment in a liberal environment.

She complained about the video editor and the boss probably said “oh, f*** him, you’ll get over it” and she took it the wrong way.

That sounds more like a joke then a serious statement.

Maybe if these people had their minds on their work they could produce some journalism.

Hmmm... I thought a liberal bastion like CBS would be a safe environment from sexual harassment. Where is the outrage? Where is the outcry from all the other liberal media at this injustice?

The narrative has been that conservatives are bad for women? So far this year the liberal bastions of the news media and hollywood entertainment have been a disaster for women feeling safe and able to advance on their professional abilities and merits.

A good looking prostitute with a healthy sex drive could become a major network news anchor at CBS in 2 years or less.

Hell.. maybe she could even be President of the network.

When she started CBS at 27, she could get ahead by sleeping with executives. At 44, that well has dried up.

CBS, whose past icon Charles Kuralt, kept a second "shadow" family on the west coast.
