A stunning week of news at CBS:

Les Moonves is out, and it turns out he was not entirely truthful with his board of directors over the past several months.
Among the allegations against Moonves, especially chilling is an encounter he had with a doctor.
Jeff Fager is out as the head of ‘60 Minutes.’ Though he was also mentioned in Ronan Farrow’s New Yorker pieces as creating a toxic culture at the flagship news show, he was actually terminated for sending threatening texts to a CBS reporter looking in allegations against him.
