Catherine Herridge Laid Off by CBS in 'Blood Bath' Firing of Hundreds - She Just Reported on Biden Docs

Catherine Herridge, probably the best reporter that CBS has, as well as about 20 other CBS reporters, were let go in a blood bath firing by Paramount Global, with 800 people total losing their jobs. The Washington Bureau, where they covered national security and intelligence, was hit hard. 

The NY Post suggested there might be more than "just cost-cutting." They note sources said Herridge "had clashed" with CBS News president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews. 

CBS isn't talking, according to the Post. 

Herridge just posted on X Monday about more damaging news to Joe Biden, noting that the House Oversight Committee wanted the transcript of the Hur interview with Joe Biden, and they expressed concerns about Biden retaining potentially sensitive documents related to specific countries involving his family’s foreign business dealings.

Herridge had previously reported a lot on the Biden family business dealings. 

But it looks like she won't be following up on that — at least not with CBS.

Herridge is also heroically standing for journalistic principle. 

Herridge may soon be held in contempt of court for not divulging her source for an investigative piece she penned in 2017 when she worked for Fox News and be ordered to personally pay fines that could total as much as $5,000 a day.

A source close to the situation said Fox News is paying for Herridge’s legal counsel.

A couple of months ago, she had also reported on the possibility of a "Black Swan" event. 

“BLACK SWAN EVENT” | Reporter Catherine Herridge was let go in a wave of layoffs at Paramount Global.

Herridge most recently reported on the Biden/Hur documents case and the GOP demand for a transcript release.

Also, recall — a couple of months ago she expressed concern that “2024 may be a Black Swan event…a national security event with high impact that’s very hard to predict."

I’d like to hear a lot more from her on this and a range of other stories she covers, free from corporate media gatekeeping.

Herridge is an actual reporter; she should consider bringing her unfiltered reporting directly to X. pic.twitter.com/mmm5ePo7IL— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) February 13, 2024

Independent Journalist Michael Shellenberger called out her layoff as "cowardly" by CBS and said, "Shame on them."

CBS News was one of the most respected names in journalism. That's no longer the case. Today, it fired Catherine Herridge @CBS_Herridge who is facing financial ruin and even prison for protecting her sources. Herridge is a hero. CBS execs have behaved cowardly. Shame on them.

It looks like the regular liberal media is imploding between this and other media layoffs. For those who push propaganda, that's hard to bemoan — don't let the door hit you on the way out. But for someone like Herridge, who seems only concerned about doing her job, one hopes that this doesn't prevent her from doing so. Perhaps that might free her up, as it has done others like Tucker Carlson, to do as she wants without any network restrictions. We shall have to see where she lands. Hopefully, somewhere where she can keep telling the truth.

"Herridge is the real deal as a reporter...

She'll land at another network by next week, for that reason.

MSM just clearing the decks for the propaganda war to come. They have to get rid of anyone with any real journalistic ethics because what they’re about to do will require absolute obedience to the deep state.

“she expressed concern that “2024 may be a Black Swan event…a national security event with high impact that’s very hard to predict.”

It seems something ominous is going on that is so bad we can’t even comprehend it. I know Steve Bannon has been saying that there is “something very dark” going on behind the scenes that he and his cohorts can’t figure out. They’re pretty savvy about the goings-on in DC so if they don’t get it, who can imagine how bad it is?

[MayflowerMadam]

You might mean Jennifer Griffin. That was a decade or two ago, I think. Also Geri Willis from Fox Business.

[Ann Archy]

Maybe NEWSMAX will pick her up!

[GOPJ]

Time for the Musk News Channel.

That' a good idea...

[CodeToad]

She has a CIA income, doesn’t she?

[Enterprise]

"we can’t even comprehend it."

I can visualize it, although it is more fitting as a short story than a prediction. The Biden Administration has let millions of military aged men of various nationalities cross the border. Let's say they get armed and launch an internal attack. They could quickly take over the West Coast and move on and eventually hold half the country. Millions of Americans would starve to death because all food production and transportation would cease due to what's available being confiscated by Biden's invasion force. As the force moves eastward, it will be supported by prepositioned saboteurs and conspirators.

You can add any number of variables to the short story, and make it end in various ways. The purpose of all these people seems sinister to me. And because it is deliberate, and because of the treacherous nature of Biden Administration officials, we need to worry. So, Happy Valentine's day!

Never heard she had cancer. I think she did donate half her liver to her child a few years back?

[MayflowerMadam]

Very scary.

Could be what’s going on. Could be that’s why so many GOP pols have turned. They’ve made a deal with the devil (literally) to see that they and their families will be exempt from the chaos and slaughter to come.

When it comes time to take the knee again it has to be choreographed just right.

[moovova]

Ok, that does it.

I’m firing Paramount+ channel...just as soon as I finish the Halo series.

[moovova]

Seriously, main street media is dying. They’re the ones committing suicide. I like Catherine Herridge a lot, but I’m not watching CBS.

[mware]

She is better than most reporters.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Catherine has been doing actual journalism. Deep state can't have that.

They will sacrifice hundreds to get rid of one.

[Macho MAGA Man]

You’re right 👍

It was Jennifer Griffin. Thanks for the clarification.

[ZULU]

Who did Herrige think she was working for? A NEWS AGENCY?

[1Old Pro]

Nobody watches CBS News anyway

I wonder if Blacks watch. CBS Mornings with Gayle Opera King and Nate Burleson has become essentially "CBS Mornings for Blacks" as their coverage is skewed to mostly Black topics, Black people, Black guests. It's unwatchable with that along with their leftist bias.

[1Old Pro]

Herridge is one of the few who simply report the unvarnished truth. The rats hate that. They want rat activist journalists, not truth tellers.

Yes, they want Leftist activists, not journalists or newsmen.

[CFW]

There is several other journalists that do real reporting she can join. Besides Tucker, there is The Federalist, Just the News, Matt Taibbi, Epoch News, Emerald Robinson, Julie Kelly, just to name a few. She may have to adjust to the change in presentation from the old-styled broadcast news format, but others have done it with success.

Old media is dying and it is not due to the economy. It is due to the product they produce. Fewer people than ever are interested because the product is faulty.
