Gayle King Reverses Course on Rose Defense: ‘Let the Chips Fall Where They May’

[See NewsBusters for more.] Perhaps feeling the heat over her kind words about accused sexual abuser Charlie Rose, CBS This Morning co-host Gayle King on Friday backtracked and said of the investigation “Let the chips fall where they may.” On Thursday, King declared she was “sick” of covering the sex allegations against her “friend” and former colleague. On Friday, This Morning covered the damning Washington Post investigation that finds three separate occasions when CBS management was warned about Rose’s groping, lewd remarks and harassment. King reacted differently than she did on Thursday, insisting: “But the good news is, if you can say good news, the company is investigating, hired somebody from the outside. I really do feel let the chips fall where they may.”
