Was it CBS’s property?

Arrest more sources with something bad to say about the Brand Biden?

An important paragraph

“ Under the standard contract, including the one at CBS, journalists agree that they will make files available to the network if needed in future litigation. That presupposes that they will retain control of their files. Such files are crucial for reporters, who use past contacts and work in pursuing new stories with other outlets or who cap their careers with personal memoirs.”

Maybe she should have kept her private files and material at home.

Definitely it was CBS property.

Legally they are rock solid.

The problem is that reporters that remain get very jumpy if they cannot trust their employer to treat them and their sources with respect.

It is a handshake/honor thing.

Either trust is there or it is not.

If it is not then nobody is going to want to talk to CBS reporters—and they have to go elsewhere.

broke news regularly and did a lot of original reporting

The Communist Broadcasting System in NOT interested in news stories, or original thought, ONLY in repeating the party line.

CBS gave it to the FBI.

Anything you obtained as intellectual or physical property while under the employ-payroll of CBS belongs to CBS. No argument there. But that’s just the cover story in their deep quest for all the files on “Crossfire Hurricane”, which could put all the top bureaucrats of the Beltway behind bars if made public. That’s what the Mara-Lago documents hunt is all about.

She had info the FBI wanted, so they could find a way to keep out of prison where they belong, CBS decided to help them. Watch for unusual suicides and deaths of government insiders in the very near future.

If she didn’t back up all of that stuff on portable storage device(s) then she isn’t as sharp as everyone thinks.

Most of her confidential sources are as good as blown. Their confidence in their anonymity has to be on shaky ground.

This went right to CIA Director Burns. Those sources better get themselves good security, or run.

It’s too late. CBS already sent a copy to Biden administration. Too bad the reporters are too dumb to realize they have been useful idiots.
