Last week, CBS News initiated a series of layoffs that included investigative reporter Catherine Herridge. While her termination from the network was a surprise, what happened afterward could have a chilling effect on whistleblowers: CBS News seized Herridge’s confidential files. She was reportedly doing research for a story about Hunter Biden's laptop. For all of the liberal media’s hysterics about how Russia, they’re pretty quiet about these KGB-esque tactics being used against a journalist (via NY Post): (X's) The acclaimed CBS reporter who was investigating the Hunter Biden laptop scandal before she was fired last week had her personal files seized by the network

Never was sure why she left Faux News (such as it is.). At least it’s not an ALPHABET news org.
Pray for her safety.

CBS is a traitor to the nation just like Joe Biden and his crime family. Covering for the Biden family crimes is telling.

No doubt she has an " insurance policy" somewhere.

Sounds illegal to me, her "personal" property does not belong to the network. Sue Catherine, say about 460,000,000 is a good number that the New York courts seem to have no problem handing out!

This should come as no surprise...The T R E A S O N O U S garbage over at CBS are the very same who brought you the TRAITOR, Lying Dan Rather and his Mentor TRAITOR Walter Cronkite! Edward R Murrow was the last quality reporter at CBS and he left in the 1950s, methinks!

I guess we will have to seize all journalist's confidential files. I wonder what we'll find?

Maybe she shouldn't fight back too hard. I hear there's a vacancy at Club Dead (Siberian Gulag). Truth Social or News Max or some such can't afford to pay her the big bucks, but she'd be free to tell the truth.

These media elites are all in agreement that their job is NOT to expose government corruption but to PROTECT IT from exposure!
See BS has now joined in with Nothing But Clinton and MSLSD in attempting to minimize and muzzle the INDIVIDUAL and a righteous fight against tyranny.
With this "intellectual property" take over of Catherine Herridge, I must now ALTER my Pledge of Allegiance-- "... with Liberty and Justice for All" (unless you are Presdient Trump or Catherine Herridge, among others).

Is CBS working for the Biden administration and the FBI? This smells.

Your move, Catherine.
You need some big time lawyers, the kind who will make this loud, vicious, and ugly.

She may feel like ''Caufield'' in the movie Capricorn One. Better check the brakes on your car, Catherine.

I'm sure CBS will say this was all a misunderstanding...after the election.

What in the world was Catherine thinking - - when she sold her soul to the communists at See B.S.?
Did she actually think that those commies would allow her to do honest reporting? And does she actually think that communist "journalists" will come to her defense?
Morals of the story - - you can never trust commies about anything - - and no amount of money is worth selling your soul for.

Probably the CIA-FBI-DOJ demanded the files and CBS blithely turned them over....
Heck, they were probably the ones that demanded she be fired in the first place... She was one of the few MSM reporters who actually looked into the nefarious operations of the government.

I agree poster #1...she needs to protect herself now...the rat's goon FBI squad have all her records and can use them to intimidate or frighten her...she was always a tough reporter...so I'm thinking they may have messed with the wrong lady.

Herridge was a CBS employee. CBS owns the files, so I don't see a case here. Herridge owns her mind, I think, not sure under today's communism, but she can take her mind and continue her work.
