“I was locked out of my emails, and I was locked out of the office,” she said. “CBS News seized hundreds of pages of my reporting files, including confidential source information.”
Ms. Herridge said that was not normal, describing it as “an attack on investigative journalism.” She said that the move “crossed a red line” that “should never be crossed by any media organization.” Mary Cavallaro, an official with the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists union, said she could not recall another instance in which a reporter’s files were seized. …
Ms. Herridge said she remains unsure why she was fired but described differences in opinion regarding reporting on Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, and the president.
“There was tension over the Hunter Biden reporting and the Biden administration, but I can’t say for sure why I was let go,” Ms. Herridge said.
Limited Views, Killed Stories
Ms. Herridge also told lawmakers that after beginning to work at CBS, she noticed that executives “limited points of views and voices.”
“I was uncomfortable with that, because I think good journalism is about diverse voices,” she said.
Sharyl Attkisson, another former CBS reporter … said that she saw stories she was working on killed while she was at CBS after phone calls came in from lawmakers and the White House. …
Facing Escalating Fines
Ms. Herridge was sued while still with Fox over her reporting on an FBI investigation into a Chinese scientist. The scientist, Yanping Chen, has been trying to figure out who passed on information to the reporter.
After years of trying to find the identity of the people, Ms. Chen asked for Ms. Herridge to be ordered by a court to disclose the sources. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, an appointee of President Barack Obama, issued such an order in 2023, finding that “Chen’s need for the requested evidence overcomes Herridge’s qualified First Amendment privilege in this case.”
Ms. Herridge said on April 11 that she was “living a legal nightmare” to protect her sources and called for Congress to pass H.R.4250, or the Protect Reporters from Exploitative State Spying Act. …
Senate Hasn’t Taken Up
The House Judiciary Committee advanced the legislation in a 23–0 vote in 2023. The full House unanimously approved it in January. But senators have still not taken up the bill. …

I see this situation the way the medical professions code of ethics states….(my wording ) you don’t share a patient’s medical info unless permission is given by patient,
Father, may we trust you in trying times. Bring back justice that is not tainted by corruption.
Transparency is not real; it is just political propaganda used by left leaning leaders to “inform the ignorant public” of what is real.
LORD, I pray for truth and integrity. Please come and heal our land.
We ask for true transparency and the removal of all traitors from our government.
Crooked, Crooked, Crooked – our government has gone to the dogs, and much prayer is needed to bring us back to righteousness. I am totally dismayed and disgusted with it and the democratic leader/crooks of this nation. How can they continue to destroy our nation with any conscience at all?
