CBS News Chat Catherine Herridge reporter reveals file photos in Hunter Biden, Covid Origins seized by the network: ‘Attack on Investigative Journalism’

CBS CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge posted photos of confidential files seized by networks that “included sensitive reports about Covid-19 origins and Hunter Biden.”

Award-winning investigative journalist who was fired last February as part of the wider vacation from the parent’s parent company Global-Study a fire storm on its offer to recover the materials before the network returns the items weeks later.

“Exactly a year ago, @cbsnews returned to my investigative reporting files,” Herridge wrote on X on Wednesday.

“Today, I am giving pictures of registers for the first time in order to see the large volume included.”

A photo showed folder clamps near a box labeled in home warehouse.

Herridge wrote that the material included four large moving boxes weighing over 100 pounds in total that were captured by the network.

Herridge referred to the actions of CBS News as a “journalistic rape” and “an attack on investigative journalism”.

“I hope no investigative reporter should suffer a similar injustice in the future,” she added.

A CBS News spokesman refused to comment.

The incident led to a hearing last April by a home judicial subcommittee entitled “Fighting for a Free Print: Protecting Journalists and their Resources”.

Herridge testified and discussed that he was being held in the court’s contempt for refusing to discover confidential resources regarding a national security history.

Its materials returned after pressure from Guild Actors Screen Federation of Television and Radio (SAG-AFTRA) artists, union representing about 160,000 professionals and media actors.

Herridge praised Sag-Aaftra for setting up “for journalism when CBS News executives captured my reporting files …”

“At that time, a Paramount lawyer withdrew, insisting that the CBS acted to secure and protect the material in Mrs. Herridge’s office,” wrote Herridge, who has since begun its newspaper on the Substack platform.

Herridge, an experienced investigation journalist who joined CBS News in 2019 after a long stay on the Fox News, faced important challenges during her Tiffany network, especially about her efforts to report on Hunter Biden’s laptop before the 2020 elections.

In October 2020, Herridge discovered materials from Hunter Biden’s laptop, including a million dollar holders from a Chinese power firm and business communications that includes Hunter Biden.

She presented this evidence to CBS News leaders, including the then Vice President Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews and then-KBS Evening News “Norah O’Donnell.

Her reporting was never broadcast.

Herridge expressed her concern when she saw the correspondent “60 minutes” Lesley Stahl stated that the contents of the laptop “could not be verified” during an interview with then President Donald Trump, noting: “While watching the broadcast, I felt sick.”

Only after the mid -term elections of November 2022 that the CBS transmitted a forensic collection of laptop data, confirming its authenticity.

Herridge had defended for the previous coverage, believing that the story was ready before the election, but the network leaders delayed the report.

CBS News has set fire to its supposed media prejudice and editorial decision -making.

In October, “60 minutes” aired an interview with the then Deputy President, Kamala Harris during which she was asked some questions about Biden administration policies against Israel.

The network released two separate clips watching the “60 Minute” broadcast showing Harris giving two distinct answers. But the “60 minutes” broadcast that made it in the air showed that one of the answers had condensed.

Trump has sued CBS News and the parent company Paramount claiming that the edits have become misleading so that Harris looks more concise and summarized. The president is looking for $ 20 billion.

Earlier this week, the New York Times reported that Trump and Paramount have agreed to appoint a third -party intermediary in an attempt to resolve the dispute outside the court.
