Ousted CBS reporter reveals how network squashed Hunter Biden story
UK Daily Mail ^ | November 3 2024 | LAURA PARNABY

An ousted veteran CBS reporter has written a lengthy expose claiming to reveal details about how the network squashed a Hunter Biden story.

Writing on her website, Catherine Herridge described the broadcaster's investigation into the laptop as a 'missed opportunity for CBS News', suggesting the broadcaster failed to properly report her findings.

Herridge said she told company executives the laptop contained material about 'a million dollar retainer from a Chinese energy firm' along with Hunter's business texts and emails in early October 2020.

Oh, they didn't "miss the opportunity." They did exactly what they intended to do to cover for Biden.

CBS, NBC, they should have their licenses pulled.

“They did exactly what they intended to do to cover for Biden.”

Exactly. Maybe even “They did exactly what THEY WERE TOLD TO DO to cover for Biden.”

“… CBS, NBC, they should have their licenses pulled.…”

Patience, Grasshopper, their reckoning is coming.

Nothing was done for 4 years. 2020 was absolutely stolen. They may pull it off again in 48 hours.

They didn’t just run interference for political reasons, they conspired to cover up criminal activity.

The most egregious example of journalistic malfeasance in modern history.

Only a small fraction of their revenue comes from the O&O stations and they don’t need an FCC license to run a network or to stream on the internet.

Speaking of blockbuster stories that disappeared, whatever happened to Rep. Comer’s investigation into the 20+ shell companies that laundered millions of dollars from the CCP and others to the various Biden family members? That was starting out well, then went down the memory hole. Subpoenas, hearings, the works...then crickets.

Instead they are rewarded and protected and most importantly, controlled, by the same corrupt bureaucracy tasked with accountability.

“How” they squashed the Hunter Biden story???

They simply didn’t report the NEWS to the American people.

Simple as that. We have no free press anymore. It’s all propaganda.

I did not know that Catherine Herridge got axed by the propaganda media. I wonder if she got a big payout or if they found a way to fire her “for cause”. She is an actual investigative journalist something that is not tolerated at the propaganda media.

"Nothing was done for 4 years. 2020 was absolutely stolen. They may pull it off again in 48 hours."

With the polls on the Marxist Propaganda Media Networks still "neck-and-neck", it appears to be a precurser to the DNC/Communist party squeaking out a narrow "victory" and validating the polls.

Yes, they hired Catherine to keep her shushed up, just as they did... whatshername... Full Measure was the name of the show they allowed her to have on Sunday mornings... Sharyll Atkisson. I knew I’d think of it.

CBS hired both of them just to keep them shushed up.

Legacy media is dead, only useful on rare occasions, like canned green beans.
