Senior correspondent Catherine Herridge has been fired by CBS News:

From the New York Post article:
Catherine Herridge — an award-winning senior correspondent whose First Amendment case is being closely watched by journalists nationwide — was among the hundreds of employees at CBS parent Paramount who got pink slips on Tuesday, sources told The Post.
Insiders said Herridge had clashed with CBS News president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews — a sharp-elbowed executive who was investigated in 2021 over favoritism and discriminatory hiring and management practices, as revealed by The Post
We’re not going to speculate on the timing of, or the reasons for, this decision, as there hasn’t been a formal announcement from CBS News or Herridge.
Some people are finding it a bit suspicious, though:

Wow!! She is an intelligent and fair journalist! @CBSNews seems to only want biased reporting.
Sad!

Rule number 1, do not tell the truth or you’ll be fired.

Looks like she was guilty of being a journalist. Can't have that!

It should surprise no one that CBS would consider reporting the truth a fireable offense. Perhaps Catherine can join Tucker's team. @CBS_Herridge

Awe, too bad. She lost her job because she told the truth. If Tucker Carlson has taught us anything, it’s that many would be better off exposing the truth and going out on their own.

Catherine Herridge is one of the best reporters around. This is just more evidence that CBS News is a propaganda arm of the DNC.

????? She was one of the most honest tenured journalists MSM had left. WoW. The DNC must have ordered this

Of course she was, the mainstream media does not appreciate anyone who tells the truth. Only the approved propaganda is allowed

Ingrid Ciprián-Matthews, CBS News president.
Hired from CNN

Not only did she report on the Biden docs the day before, about 2 months ago she reported that a “black swan” event could be incoming. Let’s hope now that she is unfettered by the MSM that she will really lay some truth out there.
