CBS News president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews – who was accused of sidelining white journalists and blocking an acclaimed correspondent’s reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop – is stepping down at the network, the company said Wednesday.
The controversial news boss, who was named president just last August, is exiting after she made headlines in February over the firing of Catherine Herridge, a respected senior investigative reporter who had been doggedly covering the Hunter Biden laptop story for the network.
At the time, media insiders speculated that Herridge’s exit was linked to her reporting that President Biden may have kept evidence that he had foreign business dealings while in office.
Another reason, according to sources, may have been Herridge’s role in a 2021 human-resources probe of Ciprian-Matthews over favoritism and discriminatory hiring and management practices.
As revealed by an investigation by The Post in January, Ciprian-Matthews had racked up HR complaints from staffers over unfair hiring and management practices, particularly against white female journalists. Among those who complained was Herridge, according to sources.
The shakeup comes during a tumultuous period for the network. CBS News parent company Paramount Global recently agreed to merge with Skydance, a deal which will enact a $2 billion cost cutting blitz. Ahead of the deal, Paramount’s co-CEOs are poised to slash $500 million from the budget.
Still, one insider at the network said that Ciprian-Matthews’ exit comes under the “guise of cuts,” after a series of public embarrassments over her dealings with Herridge came to light.

Buh-Bye stupid.
>> sidelining white journalists
WTF, does that mean?
I realize many are bothered by the capitalization, but when classifying/stereotyping, the proper capitalized noun matters. A black person isn’t necessarily a Black person, and very unlikely a physically black person is anything other than a dead pile of charcoal. And where the heck would one find an actual white person? I suppose an albino might approximate a white person, but that person wouldn’t actually be white.
So does a “white journalist” mean something like a “white hat” in terms of be favorable?
CBS/Viacom is FOS. They simply want Biden off the ticket, and are generating a whirlwind of deceitful accountability in order to give the impression of objectivity.
Only if their overlords tell them to, notice how the debate 5 signs of grief are now at anger and denial. Xiden may be demented, but orange man(Trump to be specific since we have two now) is a liar , felon, Russian stooge, and fraud and even a potted plant in the Oval Office os better.
Herridge committed the sin of journalism. She’s good at it.
She replaced Neeraj Kemlani.
WTF is running that place.
Maybe they should find someone who knows what America is all about.
Has to be more to the story - I would think CBS would have supported her blocking evidence of Biden corruption....
It's one step forward... and miles to go...NO MORE DEI hires...
How’d that affirmative action go for you, See B.S.?
