Ronan Farrow is chalking up another journalistic victory tonight as he takes down Les Moonves, the very powerful and very influential president of CBS, over sexual harassment allegations.
Watch below:
And all it took was a dozen allegations!!
More from Fox News:
CBS Chief Executive Les Moonves has resigned after at least 12 women came forward to accuse him of sexual
misconduct in a pair of New Yorker articles authored by Pulitzer Prize winner Ronan Farrow.In a statement released Sunday evening, CBS said that Moonves would depart his position as chairman, president and CEO “effective immediately.” COO Joseph Ianniello was announced as president and acting CEO “while the Board conducts a search for a permanent successor.”
The network also announced that it and Moonves would donate $20 million to organizations that support “that support the #MeToo movement and equality for women in the workplace.” The $20 million would come out of any compensation Moonves is due to receive following the conclusion of an ongoing investigation into the allegations against him.
Moonves’ future at CBS came into question in July, when Farrow published an expose in the New Yorker detailing allegations from six women. This week, multiple news outlets reported that Moonves was negotiating a possible exit with independent directors of CBS’ board.
I used to make fun of Ronan Farrow, but seriously, there are few journalists who have done as much to change our society in the last few decades. Pretty remarkable.
That’s it for this week, have a nice open thread.
Some comment fodder!!!
