Several CBS News reporters were caught up in layoffs at Paramount Global that claimed 800 jobs, including one who is embroiled in a high-stakes First Amendment fight — and another who has reportedly weathered HR probes over his workplace behavior, The Post has learned.

Catherine Herridge — an award-winning senior correspondent whose First Amendment case is being closely watched by journalists nationwide — was among the hundreds of employees at CBS parent Paramount who got pink slips on Tuesday, sources told The Post.

Part of this is the long rolling collapse of the income stream for news media

I am surprised CBS hired Herridge in the first place. My guess going into the election they don't plan reporting on any news that would be detrimental to dems. Laying off staff saves some money. I watch some morning local news on CBS and don't ever remember seeing Herridge do even a quick report.
