lol
My fear is that CBS will somehow stifle Herridge’s reporting.
You may need to be careful Catherine. Your new bosses probably don’t favor the truth.
Can we get a show of hands? How many FReepers knew Horowitz” wife works at CNN?

That would be a bummer. SeeBS has no heart for real journalism.

Back to the story:
Comey: "I’m pretty sure that bad stuff was seven layers down."
William Barr talks like the man who has the goods, Jimbo.
Isn’t that what Lara Logan’s experience there was like?
How soon can the Washington Post (protector of the powerful and corrupt) come up with an 'excuse' for Comey? Two days?
What's she doing alphabetizing Dan Rather's Ratherisms?
I miss Catherine, I always looked forward to her reports.

MACCALLUM: Yeah, and I want to ask you about that in a moment. Are you surprised that James Comey is so convinced himself that all of this was completely above board? He came out and said there was no treason and there’s no spying at all on the president.
BARR: Well, I think the IG report and the recent letter from the FISA court I think pulls the rug out from under that analysis. There was serious misconduct, as the court itself has said. And one of the things that I object to is the tact being taken by Comey, which is to suggest that people who are criticizing or trying to get to the bottom of the misconduct are somehow attacking the FBI. I think that’s nonsense. We’re criticizing and concerned about misconduct by a few actors at the top of the FBI, and they should be criticized if they engaged in serious misconduct. That doesn’t mean we’re criticizing the FBI, and I think the tact of trying to wrap yourself in the institution and say, gee, people who are criticizing the decisions I made are attacking the institution. I noticed people don’t that as far as I’m concerned, people feel free to criticize me. And I don’t say, gee, you’re attacking the honest men and women of the Department of Justice. I think leaders, you know, have to own their decisions and are fair game if they make bad decisions.
MACCALLUM: Were you surprised that he seemed to give himself such a distance from the entire operation?
JAMES COMEY: As the director sitting on top of an organization of 30,000 people you can’t run an investigation that’s seven layers below you. You have to leave it to the career professionals to do.
MACCALLUM: Do you believe that?
BARR: No, I think that the one of the problems with what happened was precisely that they pulled the investigation up to the executive floors, and it was run and bird dogged by a very small group of very high level officials. And the idea that this was seven layers below him is simply not true.
Barr versus Comey

thanx.
geez...how did I miss that? I looked at damn near everything but his background.
Dan Rather worked at CBS.
No kidding? That’s troubling. I couldn’t raise my hand, but if I can confirm that, I’ll raise both hands next time.
Can you help me confirm with a source?
“Can we get a show of hands?
How many FReepers knew Horowitz” wife works at CNN?”
Not I nor my wife and our large deplorable families on both sides.
Catherine Herridge is what used to be known as a journalist.

Get the info straight. She DOES NOT work at CNN. She did at one time. She left in 2017 - actually worked with Lou Dobbs while he was at CNN.
Today, she is a freelance writer.

Thanks. That makes me feel so much better about “no bias” Horowitz.
