Corporate-Government partnership runs this country not We The People or the Bill of Rights.

“The move has led to speculation about the motives behind the seizure, with some suggesting that it could be a response to Herridge’s recent investigative work, which has been critical of the Biden regime.”

Hoft & Co. don’t quite get around to speculating that Biden’s handlers told them to get rid of her...OR ELSE! All the other layoffs are probably a smokescreen.

And so it goes.

Almost 90 years ago, Sinclair Lewis wrote about the Corporate-Government cabal and labeled it "Corporatism."

Herridge should have stayed with Fox News or gone with a conservative internet Outlet. She must have been offered a lot of money from the propaganda media. Now they’re going out her sources. Just another of their evil ways to try to keep people from reporting any of the horrific behaviors of the left.

CBS seized her work and handed it over to the feds? They fired her instead of fighting for her. She could be jailed for contempt.

Russia! Russia! Russia!

I hope she lands favorably elsewhere. She’s done truly superb reporting for many years.

CBS fired her the second she started reporting on Biden’s DISASTROUS special counsel report that is when they fired her because in today’s communist media, if you don’t kiss Dem ass you are gone

It’s called fascism. And today, it’s The American Way

Herridge probably has among the deepest sources of any investigative reporter in the defense and intelligence areas. I’ll bet CBS has already turned everything over to the FBI. Shame on Herridge if she does not encrypt and protect everything she has. She had to know her files could be targeted by competitors, US and foreign governments, and hackers like wikileaks.

If her sources are compromised, her career is pretty much over, and investigative journalism will be significantly weakened. Not that there is much as it is...

I remember she had a child with health issues, and at the time I wondered if that had something to do with it.

"It can be recalled that in August, the US District Court for the District of Columbia, Christopher Cooper, ordered Herridge to sit down for a sworn deposition regarding a confidential source she used for a 2017 story she covered on a Department of Defense-funded school that was at the center of federal investigations over Chinese military ties while she was at Fox News.

The judge ordered Herridge to turn over her source(s) in response to a lawsuit that was filed by Chinese-American scientist Yanping Chen against the FBI. Chen subpoenaed Herridge in an effort to find out who her sources were."

Theory:

This suggests the DoD is compromised by a foreign nation. When you think about how a spy balloon was allowed to pass over CONUS, Milley contacting Chinese counterparts re: Trump, Ft. Detrick re: Covid....

Now CBS confiscates files obstensively to identify confidential sources....

Something smells like treason.

Catherine Herridge, an Emmy-winning and nominated reporter known for her work on national security and intelligence, was among the 800 employees Paramount Global laid off in a bid to streamline operations amid financial strain. Her firing has since escalated into a broader controversy.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

it’s a shame they had to fire the other 799 employees to throw cover over their real reason.

what’s next for Herridge? Pre dawn fibber Swat team raiding her house to find her files & sources
