That sounds reasonable. I hope you're right. She's a good reporter. I won't watch her at CBS but hopefully she retains her ability to remain a serious journalist, reporting truth. CBS needs her and the country as a whole will benefit if she remains true and reaches people who haven't been hearing the truth for the last 3 years. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Some people don't have a problem selling off their integrity for money. If that's your thing, so be it, but just because something is a part of capitalism doesn't mean it's good. | |||

I doubt CBS will ever let her tell the truth on anything why would they start now? they're using the Dan Rather model - make it up, fake it and claim its the real thing [B] Against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC | |||

The news business is really just another part of the entertainment business, no matter what anybody thinks. Show anybody enough money and they'll jump ship. In a few more years they can jump back, stay or go somewhere else if they want. They're not curing cancer, they're providing entertainment. When their ratings and popularity are high, their market value is high. Got to use it while you have it. Anybody that thinks any of the mainstream news is the pure truth is fooling themselves. The only way to get something close is to get your information from many different sources, and not just ones that follow your own point of view. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

It seems unlikely to me they ever will. IMO OAN is nearly as bad as the legacy "news" media, only in the opposite political direction. As with the legacy "news" media: I could stand it, until I couldn't any more.
While true, at least an effort was made toward journalistic accuracy and integrity in the past. Not any more. "America is at that awkward stage.

Who determined she sold "integrity"? EVERBODY does SOMETHING for money ...even you!  So then every time you change jobs for more pay you are "selling your integrity"?  | |||

The assumption here is that the only way she'll be able to stay on board at CBS is to go with the flow. Assuming that's true, and assuming she does, what else would you call it? Do you really think CBS' "news" division is going to change their ways? Srsly?
Sometimes: Yes. E.g.: Many, perhaps most, of the people I've known for years that used to be in the network firewall industry long ago moved on to other things, because network firewalls, under pressure from PHBs and murketers, became merely window dressing and they didn't want their good reputations associated with things that were "firewalls" in name only. I was actually fired from a job, long ago, because I wouldn't do what the owners wanted me to: Convince customers who'd brought their perfectly serviceable machines in for repair that they couldn't be repaired and to send them over to sales. I can name many examples in my career and our industry, smschulz. "America is at that awkward stage.

Talk about being retarded? IF your whole deal is about CBS then say so. I know it is part of the liberal media cartel but until she comes out with a specific libtard rant claiming to be otherwise objective, why not just let her go in peace? Who knows maybe it is just an innocent job move for financial reasons? | |||

OK, smschulz, talk to us about the objective reporting of CBS News. Show us some of those objective, fair reports from CBS on President Trump, on Republicans in Congress, or of conservative Americans. Post those videos in this thread. Post links to those online news items from CBS. Just stow this obvious stuff about people switching jobs to get a raise, and post some of this objective, honest reportage from CBS. Then, we can talk about the heads of the CBS news division radically changing their news policy for Ms. Herridge. Sometimes, I simply do not understand what goes through your head. | |||

I guess before we question her integrity we should see what kind of reporting she produces when she goes to CBS, even though I won't be watching. | |||

For any forum member who has been here for 6 months or greater, I thought that any inference to CBS being a Left-wing propaganda outlet was self-evident and did not need to be explicitly said in every post about that organization. | |||
|
| Peace through superior firepower |
Yeah, that's right. The heads of CBS are going to allow her to be objective, which means that they are going to radically change their news policy. And why wouldn't you be watching? This is a clue, don't you think? Hello? She's a sellout. | |||

Agree with all the above - but I wonder sometimes for moves like this one if they don't think they will be the one - the one to change a perception of a network and be the first to swing things the other way - then they don't. I think Megan Kelly thought this. You drop an ounce of right (for which could be argued how much was there I know) with an ocean of left and its too diluted. | |||
|
| Imagination and focus become reality |
I won't be watching because CBS has always sucked in the past. I don't expect that to change. However, I think she should be given a chance as far as her personal integrity goes. It won't take long to figure out where she is coming from. | |||

How about losing your integrity? Not saying that will happen, but other well regarded reporters have jumped to "major" other news organizations. And found out that the grass is not always greener. Yeah, I am disappointed as well. Elk There has never been an occasion where a people gave up their weapons in the interest of peace that didn't end in their massacre.

I could not care less, Fwiw. I guess I would add that I always thought when I saw her. She would be a great sammich maker.  "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||
