Why did CBS want to keep laid off Catherine Herridge's reporting files?

When top investigative reporter, Catherine Herridge, was laid off at CBS, a lot of heads were shaking. Her layoff made no sense, she was their best performer, their most credible news reporter, the only reason they weren't completely dismissed as a woke and politicized "narrative" and "talking points" outlet.

ABC News and NBC News could make no comparable claims, and MSNBC and CNN, not to mention, NPR, certainly could not.

But, yeah, they got rid of her, just as she was uncovering some incredible political stories in an election year, including new stories about Hunter Biden's laptop and Joe Biden's involvement in Hunter's sleazy business dealings.

According to the Daily Mail:

Citing sources, the New York Post claimed that Herridge had been pursuing a story related to Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop, and that she had 'encountered roadblocks' from management over her coverage of the First Son.

Herridge in November 2022 authenticated the laptop, which the Post had first reported on in October 2020. 

Oh, well, they didn't want those stories. And they didn't want that powerful traffic they would draw to the network. Whatevs. Some news networks like to stay small.

Except that then they refused to give Herridge back her reporter files and computers, her valued notes, and lists of leakers, and all the people she talked to to get her standout stories.

Ahem. Then things started to look different.

Seems they didn't just want her stories on her broadcasts, they wanted to silence her so she couldn't tell more of these stories. They claimed the files were company property, but that's nonsense.

Here's why that's a load of bee ess: Number one, that's not done and all of those people at that network know it.

Looks like they want to hunt down her sources. Tucker should interview her and see what she has to say.

So Fox Mulder, uh, I mean the former Fox reporter Herridge,
had her office files ransacked and confiscated
and Mulder, I mean, Herridge was laid off. The FBI, I mean CBS, said nothing of any importance was found in the files, which they have now lost by clerical staff error.

cbs reporter Sharyl Attkisson was spied on by obama/biden.

Ex-CBS reporter: Government agency bugged my computer

But the most shocking finding, she says, was the discovery of three classified documents that Number One told her were “buried deep in your operating system. In a place that, unless you’re a some kind of computer whiz specialist, you wouldn’t even know exists.”

“They probably planted them to be able to accuse you of having classified documents if they ever needed to do that at some point,” Number One added.

In her book, Attkisson says CBS lost interest in her coverage of the deadly attack on the US Embassy in Benghazi, Libya, and killed her stories of the federal “Fast and Furious” gun-running scandal.

Moral to the story: ALWAYS backup and keep MULTIPLE copies in safe places!
