The CBS News boss who signed off on the controversial ouster of Catherine Herridge — a respected Washington correspondent who has been embroiled in a high-profile First Amendment case — is nevertheless being honored with a free speech award next month.
CBS News president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews was selected by Radio Television Digital News Association to be among 13 honorees at the 33rd annual First Amendment Awards at The Watergate Hotel in Washington DC on March 9.
The irony was not lost

“The RTDNA must be tone deaf to give Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews and CBS News an award for the First Amendment.. It tarnishes the whole meaning of the award.”

The revelation comes as the House Judiciary Committee has launched an investigation into Herridge’s termination, as well as the handling of her files after she was let go.
CBS News retained Herridge’s personal files, which contained confidential information on her legal case, as well as stories she had worked on, among other things.
Facing mounting pressure from the House Judiciary Committee and SAG-AFTRA, the union representing the journalist, CBS News returned the files on Monday.
Herridge has run into “internal roadblocks” at the network as she covered the Hunter Biden laptop story.

She also clashed with Ciprian-Matthews, a sharp-elbowed executive who was investigated in 2021 over favoritism and discriminatory hiring and management practices

How ironic
No award has meaning anymore. It’s just a bunch of corrup, degenerate people patting themselves on the back. They have to because nobody respects them anymore.

Hyphenated last name = HUGE red flag.
Mr. George Orwell, please claim your poodle at the baggage counter. Mr. George Orwell, your poodle is waiting.
“CBS News boss who signed off on firing Catherine Herridge to get free speech award”
This is NOT the Bee.
She knows who butters her toast.
Making Uncle Walter proud, eh?
“Herridge’s firing .. retaliatory”
**************
Of course it was, but Herridge’s decision to go to work for CBS was naive and gullible. She shouldn’t be surprised.
They gave YouTube bosswitch Susan Wokechicky a free speech award right after she clamped down on speech too
…The irony was not lost…
It is lost on the parasite class.
I THOUGHT she would be BLACK!

If they resist and persist in their abuse of Americans they must face the wrath and divine justice of the American people.
I alway liked her and didn’t know where she went a few years ago. Anyways, Herridge is one of the few real journalists alive today. Her reports are factual and antiseptic.. as they should be.
She left Fox News five years ago to join CBS.
As far as I am concerned, Herridge can never be politically trusted again.
No honest mature reporter could have joined the Main Stream Media without understanding their relentless Left Wing bias and their unconcealed contempt for the Political Right.
