CBS News Seizes Catherine Herridge's Computer Files & Her Confidential Sources

Posted by FJB

Was Catherine Herridge on the heels of something damaging to the western communist regime? After CBS fired her, they apparently have seized her computer, files, and her sources within. Listen, or read below.

Jonathan Turley — “Anyone who isn’t confused really doesn’t understand the situation.” Those words, from CBS icon Edward R. Murrow, came to mind this week after I spoke with journalists at the network.

There is trouble brewing at Black Rock, the headquarters of CBS, after the firing of Catherine Herridge, an acclaimed investigative reporter. Many of us were shocked after Herridge was included in layoffs this month, but those concerns have increased after CBS officials took the unusual step of seizing her files, computers and records, including information on privileged sources.

The position of CBS has alarmed many, including the union, as an attack on free press principles by one of the nation’s most esteemed press organizations.

I have spoken confidentially with current and former CBS employees who have stated that they could not recall the company ever taking such a step before. One former CBS journalist said that many employees “are confused why [Herridge] was laid off, as one of the correspondents who broke news regularly and did a lot of original reporting.”

That has led to concerns about the source of the pressure. He added that he had never seen a seizure of records from a departing journalist, and that the move had sent a “chilling signal” in the ranks of CBS. - Continue Reading

The CIA takeover of the U.S. Press to protect its interests appears complete. Western communists simply cannot risk having a single, good, and impartial journalist on any corporate payroll.

The removal of Tucker Carlson from Fox News was the biggest example of this reality, and now, CBS’ removal of Herridge and theft of her files, only cements this truth.

Most legitimate journalists are no longer in corporate news. Even Turley’s article above was relegated to The Hill’s “opinion” section, when it wasn’t opinion, it was good reporting.

U.S. Corporate press has essentially labeled real journalists, dissidents, and requiring every news outfit to be staffed with same-thinking CIA, western-communist automatons. The Corporate, western-communist CIA regime cannot handle, even minor, scrutiny.

This is why we’re all here on Substack now, or X, Rumble, searching for the truth amid a dying empire of government and corporate lies.
