JUST IN: Catherine Herridge Leaving Fox News for CBS News
Mediaite ^ | October 31, 2019 | Colby Hall

Posted on 10/31/2019 5:55:39 AM PDT by CreviceTool

atherine Herridge is joining CBS News as a senior investigative correspondent based in Washington D.C. Herridge has played a critical part of Fox News newsgathering over the past decade and has been a central figure in reporting on D.C. based stories in the past year, namely the Mueller Report and hearings as well as the current Trump-Ukraine scandal that has launched the current impeachment inquiry led by House Democrats.

While this will likely be viewed as a significant loss for Fox News news division, her hiring by a network news department such as CBS is a badge of honor for Fox News.

Such a BIG loss after 23 years of lending legitimacy to Fox ... if Catherine Herridge reported it - you could bank on it ... she never put too much ideological mustard on her stories

She should ask Sharyl Atkisson about how CBS treats honest non-partisan reporters.

I expect CBS offered her a significant bump up in salary. I am shocked Fox wouldn’t match or beat the offer. She is a fabulous reporter with excellent “sources”.

So true. She is a straight shooter and the best at “ just the facts Mam “. Always tell my wife, let’s really listen to her as she will filter out all the spin

Hope she maintains that on CBS and doesn’t go the way of other former fox commentators . Eg. Allison Cammerata. Not in her league, but a rap turncoat

She is going to learn real fast all about Censorship as she is relegated to writing puff stories on drag queen night at the library.

It’s a little thing, but I’ve always enjoyed it when at the end of one of her reports when the anchor said “Thank You, Catherine”, she’d say “You’re Welcome”.

CBS? I hope she’s willing to trash and burn any inkling of being objective. I don’t blame her, for big money, I can’t say I wouldn’t do the same thing.

I will miss her. She did solid, reliable reporting.

Great reporter. Been with Fox since it started.
Will miss seeing her on Fox.
But won’t be switching to CBS.

Interesting...she’s a very fine reporter and on the surface, it sure doesn’t seem that CBS suits her at all. It has to come down to money and it’s amazing that Fox couldn’t keep her. At a deeper level, I have to wonder what this means for both Fox and CBS... Fox continues their swing to the left? Does this mean that we’re going to start seeing some honest reporting from CBS? That’s hard to imagine but on the other hand, I can’t see Catherine kowtowing to whatever they want her to say....

There was a time when CBS News was the Gold Star in news gathering.
It was many, many years ago...

Didn’t she sue FNC once upon a time?

I didn’t think she was the type to sell out. Too bad.

Oh, you mean when uncle Wally was lying about the Vietnam War? I don’t think CBS was ever objective. It’s more accurate to say that we didn’t have alternative sources so we didn’t know that CBS news was biased.

I admired her work too. Poor girl will be in for a shock the first time CBS tells her to spike a story that paints Democrats in a bad light. She could be a future Sharyl Atkisson or Lara Logan.
