CBS News fires political director over allegations of 'inappropriate behavior': report
Fox News ^ | January 4, 2017 | Amy Lieu

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 wonder if all these white men will be replaced with women? What a convenient pretext for the left to ‘break the glass ceiling’ while putting white males ‘in their place’ - “Never let a crisis go to waste!”

Thanks Enchante. The priority for showbiz -- which includes so-called journalism -- should be purging the DNC's partisan media shills. But that won't happen until the media are owned by conservatives.

>> You’ve got CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and their derivative networks

CBS is its own being. But...

ABC, ESPN is Disney
NBC, MSNBC is Comcast
CNN is virtually AT&T

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

Ha, ha! Good question!

At least that is the story they are telling, many of these old media types are most likely replaced for other reasons.

I guarantee not all these guys are being fired for sex harassment. There is an agenda beneath it all.

I’m guessing there was not a woman involved

I can't imagine a Man would leave the house wearing a lavender-pink (is that even a color?) shirt. Mrs. Jackson would never let me leave the house with THAT tie with THAT shirt with THAT suit. I don't know what works, but I have the scars to show from the process of gaining a reasonable sense of the range of things that don't work. THAT would not walk out of her house alive.

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

That makes two of us. The last week or so the daily allegations of inappropriate behavior have slowed down. Has the media moved on already?!

Your guess may be accurate.

He at least is desired by members of the same sex admirer community:

Master of Ceremonies and event chair Steve Chaggaris, Political Director of CBS News, and person about whom I received the following curious email: “Who was the hottie who wuz emcee’ing?” The emailer didn’t mean Cheney; he’s a Democrat.

That’s what MeToo2.0 is demanding. 3 (or more) orgs (one associated with Anita Hill) is insisting on 1:1 parity in positions of authority in all industries (focused on media, but every workplace) within TWO YEARS. Also pushing for quotas for the GBLTXYZ crowd.
