CBS News violated 'standard practice' by shortchanging Hunter Biden laptop review: fired reporter (CATHERINE HERRIDGE)

"I knew the laptop records could be vetted and confirmed," Catherine Herridge says. "I was confused by what seemed a disconnect between the CBS News division and 60 Minutes."

Fired CBS News investigative journalist Catherine Herridge broke her silence on "the question I get asked the most" in her newsletter Sunday: "What happened with the Hunter Biden story at CBS before the 2020 election?"

The short answer is the Tiffany network did not direct the CBS News investigative unit "to develop more reporting on the laptop" in October 2020 after Herridge vetted materials including "a million dollar retainer from a Chinese energy firm, emails with Hunter Biden’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski as well as Hunter Biden text messages," she wrote. "That would have been standard practice."

CBS fired Herridge and confiscated her reporting materials in February, only returning them after the House Judiciary Committee opened a probe of the network. She testified in Congress alongside investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson this spring to stop the government from forcing journalists to disclose sources.

Senior executive Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews had asked Herridge for "confirmed reporting" on the laptop story that would be given to evening news anchor Norah O’Donnell, so she started "working the phones, reaching out to people on the Hunter Biden emails for corroboration and cross-referencing court records," Herridge wrote.

Ciprian-Matthews asked Herridge explicitly if her findings showed "a Hunter connection," and she responded that "all of" the records showed that connection, providing some to Ciprian-Matthews. They had a brief call but nothing further happened to her knowledge, Herridge said.

CBS conspired to cover up criminal activity.

“Standard practice”?
My Obamahole.
The only standard that liberal slimes have is a double one.
This is a truth of the multiverse.

SeeBS is a regime mouthpiece, like the Spew Barf Slimes and the Washingsnot Pest.

An honest FCC would terminate their broadcasting license.

You realize that if Trump had won the 2020 election, Vice President Pence would be cruising to his first term in the White House tonight.

Be careful what you wish for.

"...Trump had won the 2020 election,..."

Couple of things...Trump did win, massive fraud and cheating means the win was stolen from him.

Second...The world would be better off today than it is, much better off and perhaps Pence would have a better platform from which to lead...maybe.

I always liked Catherine Herridge when she was on Fox.

I would believe a story in World Weekly News before I would buy a story out of CBS.

Wasn’t it CBS who edited in a completely different Harris answer to an interview question?

Seems this kind of thing IS standard practice at CBS.

One of the underutilized approaches to unethical and biased network media reporting is to file complaints in each TV station's FCC folder indicating why the station should not be granted a continuation of its public license from the FCC as it is not using the airwaves for the public good.

When Democrats and Rino’s no longer control the FCC, networks like CBS could be forced to loose a significant number of local station contracts and advertising revenues. Today there are literally hundreds of “network-like” streaming programing organizations that a local station could replace CBS with.

She got fired for being honest? I believe these “news” outlets just do the bidding of their corporate boards.
