The mighty continue to fall. Interesting article on how it all went down with the board and how most of them stood by him to the end:

I wonder how his leaving will affect CBS tv in the future. Fascinating stuff.

Not Les, but another powerful man behaving badly, super rich pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who used money and influence to get a lesser sentence.

I almost put it there, but that forum seems to be for posting pics of whatever actresses that the members are currently pulling it to. Plus these are just mainly news items, and since there is no news/current events forum, just a humorous news one, I stuck it here. Plus no one is pulling it to Les Moonves.

I remember when CBS was dead last among the big three networks in the ratings. Apparently the only demographic they were attracting at the time (early to mid 1990's) were the 55+ crowd. Then Survivor came along and changed everything.

Yeah. Losing football back then was a huge blow as well.
