Catherine Herridge, Fox News Veteran, Moves to CBS News
Variety ^ | 10/31/2019 | BRIAN STEINBERG

Catherine Herridge, a Fox News Channel veteran who has been with that network since it was founded in 1996, is moving to rival CBS News.

She will work as a senior investigative correspondent out of Washington, CBS News said, and will start in November.

Herridge is the second long-serving Fox News journalist to leave the Fox Corporation-owned cable-news outlet in recent weeks, and her departure may give a new boost to recent speculation that the network’s news-side employees have grown frustrated during a period when its opinion hosts have largely used their programs to lend support to President Donald Trump and his administration, sometimes criticizing news reports.

Shepard Smith, another long-serving Fox News journalist who was seen as the network’s main news anchor, surprised viewers earlier this month by announcing his departure on a Friday-afternoon broadcast. Smith had tangled on air with opinion host Tucker Carlson.

Herridge’s move is said to have been in the works for several weeks and is not tied to Smith’s exit.

“CBS News has always placed a premium on enterprise journalism and powerful investigations,” said Herridge, in a statement. “I feel privileged to join a team where facts and storytelling will always matter.”

What the hell?? Can this really be the great Catherine Herridge stating this garbage??

VERY sorry to see Herridge leave Fox News. She's one of the great investigative reporters. SeeBS is dead to me... I'll never see her again now.

You can bet CBS will not allow her reporting style to continue.

Exactly! Look what CBS did to Sharyl Attkisson!

Catherine Herridge going to SeeBS... Sean Duffy to CNN. What the hell??

Yes, as a contributor.

Very disheartening. I haven’t seen his wife lately either.

I doubt Catherine wrote that. It was probably written by PR just to announce her employment.

Sad indeed. When Catherine talked, I listened.

Exactly. Huge loss for FNC.

I'm stunned Catherine just made the statement below. Has she not heard of what happened to Sharyl Attkisson at CBS??

Yes. I haven't seen her lately either. Maybe she gave birth to their latest child, who sadly has a heart defect?

I understood that Sean Duffy resigned his Congressional seat so he could go home to Wisconsin to help his wife with the new baby (and their other 8 children). Now I learn he's going to the Commie News Network. Just unbelievable.

That is very interesting that CBS would hire Herridge, who is EXCELLENT. Maybe CBS is turning over a new leaf and will report some actual news.

Some bad things are sadder than others. This is very sad.

[[Or maybe she left because Fox’ management has tilted to the left]]

Does make sense that she would then move to a much morel iberal ‘fake but accurate’ news station and call it more trustworthy

[[Maybe it’s to open a slot to bring back Megan Kelly.]]

A better bet would be firing Neil Cavuto and placing her there- no need to bring in meagain
