Charlie Rose looks like he was in bar fight, his left eye blackened and wearing a bandage above his left eyebrow.
Here's the story from Michael Arrington:
I contacted the show’s producers to hear what happened. Earlier today, they said, Rose tripped in a pothole while walking on 59th Street in Manhattan. He was carrying a newly purchased MacBook Air and made a quick (but ultimately flawed) decision while falling: sacrifice the face, protect the computer. “In doing so, he pretty much hit the pavement face first, unfortunately,” they said.
Luckily the MacBook Air survived the fall. “The Macbook Air is fine, he showed us the blood stains on it this morning.”
Rose, one of the hardest working journalists I’ve met, records multiple shows per day and cancellations are rare. Falling directly onto his face apparently doesn’t qualify as a good enough excuse to postpone a show.
That explains it.
There's no Randi Rhodes drama here.

If you believe that explanation, then you are more gullible than your average spoiled cloistered child. Exactly what kind of surface can you hit in falling that leaves a mark around your eye and nowhere else? Must be an awfully pointed one. A fist? A drunken escapade? Who knows. But 'falling down' on a Manhattan street won't cut it. Seek the expert opinion of, say, a forensic scientist. Dr. Baden, where are you?
Hmmm.
I never thought of the "average spoiled cloistered child" as being gullible.
I believe the explanation for Rose's battered face.
When you sustain an injury to the brow, blood can leak down resulting in bruising below the eye.
Have you ever seen someone with a broken nose? Bruising can appear under the eyes even though that area wasn't injured.
It doesn't take a direct hit in the eye to get a black eye.
But more importantly....Who really cares?
I do. I care with every fiber of my being.
I'm with Mike. He didn't scrape his jaw or chin but got a perfect shiner and even that tell-tale little cut about the eyebrow that boxer's often sustain. Yeah, he got knocked the f- out but oh, well. He survived...
