You’d have to be a fool to talk off the record with SeeBS “news” after today.
The sources have been outed.
The damage has been done.
“ the network is moving toward a resolution to turn over the files after the outcry.”
Right after the last file is scanned and copied.

“...an attack on free press principles by one of the nation’s most esteemed press organizations.”
Corrected:
“...an attack on free press principles by one of the nation’s most despised Deep State organizations.”
Off topic, but I just watched the excellent 1955 movie starring Spencer Tracy “Bad Day at Black Rock.” It was a rather heavy handed theme about anti-Japanese treatment after WW 2, but good nonetheless.
If those sources are retaliated against, you'll know where the information on their identities came from. And it could be argued that CBS, and any employees/executives involved are accessories.
The Bee does their writing?
CBS is nothing more than a pretentious, pseudo sophisticated propaganda platform for the Left. It forever lost any sliver of credibility that remained when it refused to investigate or report on the Hunter Biden laptop. They are lapgogs for the Left.

I wrote this elsewhere.
With all due respect, in a company they ALWAYS “seize” the employee’s work papers and laptop when they’re fired. This is SOP. Unless there is a contract, you are an employee at will and all “your” files, customer lists, electronic documents, presentations, and laptop are in fact not yours but CORPORATE PROPERTY.
The process, too, is SOP: the employee is often told by their manager that their job is being eliminated, HR is there to explain ongoing benefits, healthcare, severance, outplacement services, and then the employee is either escorted out or left alone to leave if there isn’t a risk they’ll flip out. Their network access is disabled, ID badge is collected, and (if the company is ethical) they’ll offer the employee the option of coming back after-hours to pack up their personal effects with their manager or security standing by, or the company will box up their stuff and send it home.
Thus, it’s not Herridge’sintellectual property unless she had a contractual agreement with her employer to retain all IP rights in her reporting and work. Such an arrangement, by the way, is VERY unusual. Not impossible but unusual. If that WAS the case, her lawyers would be all over that and we’d probably have that leaked to the press. Further, CBS would know darn well it’s her property and would tread lightly when firing her.
Also, Herridge was fired with hundreds of randos. The only entities singling her out are Turley via The Hill and the NY Post. And I would submit to you, the people ranting about “OMG they took HER stuff” are at best ignorant about what happens in the process of firing people.
I DO agree, journalism isn’t plumbing, contractor work, or automobile manufacturing. It’s actually less important. Nobody writes a pearl-clutching saga in the NY Post when a guy who worked for decades loyally has his job eliminated. Nobody sheds a tear that he couldn’t bring home a few really cool reports he wrote that made the company money.
Again, CBS is scum and it is totally possible Bidet wants his hands on her papers and laptop. If that’s at play, that’s criminal AND a 1st Amendment violation. It’s also worth noting, Ms Herridge did some good reporting and she donated part of her liver to her infant son (most of the media would probably abort their kid).
That said, this saga is about a member of the MSM who is on TV and lives in Manhattan, who earned a Bachelor’s degree from Harvard College and a Master’s degree in journalism from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism…
…No disrespect meant to Ms. Herridge, but on paper she’s one of the “elite.” My electrician and mechanic are more valuable to this nation than a talking head. Forgive me if I don’t get my knickers in a twist.
Next up will be bodies found who mysteriously died suddenly. They will be the “outed” sources, eliminated by the Deep State.
The union should be in court yesterday.
Free speech has ended,we don’t have a free press only state news/propaganda.
I guess from now on reporters know they have to keep critical information in notes on something they only have access to.
Interesting that neither Woodward nor Bernstein were threatened with contempt for not revealing Deep Throat’s name. I guess it’s (D)ifferent...
’ legendary history that includes figures from Murrow to Walter Cronkite to Roger Mudd.’
I wonder why they didn’t mention Dan Rather?
Sanders' arrest added to the conspiracy theories that CBS was providing cover for the Clinton administration's center fuel tank explosion explanation.
