And, as the article points out, she's critical of the Biden administration (because, again, she's an actual journalist)

CBS News Reporter Catherine Herridge, Who is Critical of Biden Regime, Among 800 Laid Off in Paramount Global’s Cost-Cutting Sweep

Paramount Global has announced the layoffs of 800 employees, including notable figures such as Catherine Herridge, the Emmy-winning and Emmy-nominated senior investigative correspondent known for her coverage of national security and intelligence matters.

In a memo to employees obtained by CNN, Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish confirmed the layoffs but did not disclose specific numbers. However, sources with knowledge of the situation reported to far-left news outlet that the cuts represent a 3% reduction in the company’s global workforce.

These layoffs are part of Paramount’s strategy to streamline operations and bolster earnings growth. This came as a shock to the industry, especially following the network’s recent high-profile success with Super Bowl advertising.

“These adjustments will help enable us to build on our momentum and execute our strategic vision for the year ahead — and I firmly believe we have much to be excited about,” Bakish wrote.

Among those affected by the layoffs were high-profile journalists at CBS News, including Catherine Herridge and chief national affairs and justice correspondent Jeff Pegues. The exact date of their departure from the network remains unclear.

Former National Security Advisor of the United States, Mike Flynn, weighed in on this news, stating, “Catherine Herridge remains one of the finest investigative journalists of modern times. To fire her is a sign they are about to burn down themselves. Good riddance CBS.”

Catherine Herridge has yet to release a statement in response to the news.

Catherine Herridge, an Emmy winner and nominee known for covering national security and intelligence matters, joined CBS News in 2019 after a long tenure at Fox News.

Herridge’s career has been marked by a fierce commitment to First Amendment rights, highlighted by her involvement in a lawsuit stemming from her refusal to reveal sources from a series of reports in 2017.

Herridge is facing contempt charges and potential jail time for refusing to disclose the identity of her confidential source.

In August, the US District Court for the District of Columbia, Christopher Cooper, ordered Herridge to sit down for a sworn deposition regarding a confidential source she used for a 2017 story she covered on a Department of Defense-funded school that was at the center of federal investigations over Chinese military ties while she was at Fox News.

The judge ordered Herridge to turn over her source(s) in response to a lawsuit that was filed by Chinese-American scientist Yanping Chen against the FBI. Chen subpoenaed Herridge in an effort to find out who her sources were.

Herridge argued she should not be forced to disclose her source because of her First Amendment rights. She refused to disclose her source during the deposition and now faces contempt charges and potential jail time.

Herridge has also voiced concerns about potential national security events in 2024, describing them as unpredictable “Black Swan” events.

During the year-end CBS News correspondents roundtable, Catherine Herridge made a grim prediction for 2024, referring to a potential ‘Black Swan event’ – a national security crisis with unpredictable high impact.

“Well, mine’s a little dark,” she began. “I just feel a lot of concern that 2024 may be the year of a black swan event. This is a national security event with high impact that’s very hard to predict.”

“There are a number of concerns- concerns, I have that factor into that. Not only this sort of enduring, heightened threat level that we’re facing, the wars in Israel, also Ukraine.”

“And we’re so divided in this country in ways that we haven’t seen before. And I think that just creates fertile ground for our adversaries like North Korea, China and Iran. And that’s what concerns me most,” she added.

Her critical stance towards the current regime has been evident in her recent reporting and commentary.

Her last report was the Biden/Hur documents case and GOP demands for transcript releases.

“The Committees require this (Biden/Hur interview) transcript..there is concern that President Biden may have retained sensitive documents related to specific countries involving his family’s foreign business dealings…” by Feb. 19,” she wrote on X.

Have you noticed that the liberal media is in the process of imploding? Every week, we hear about another media outlet that’s laying off staffers.

Two different things are causing this. First, a growing share of the American people no longer trust the media because so many journalists are just Democrat party activists. Second, all of these liberal media outlets are saying the same thing and are, therefore, competing with each other for a shrinking piece of market share.

Do you think the people in our media class will learn anything from this? Probably not.

Why the hell did she leave Fox in the first place? Should have known that you can't do real journalism at state run media.

These media organizations seem to be imploding nicely. Why? Because no one watches, reads or has any confidence what "news" they put out.

Maybe Tucker can hire her to conduct investigative reporting????

Breitbart will be happy to have her.

Now, there's an idea!

I love her work and she's a true journalist in the traditional sense of the word. But there is no federal shield law and, until there is, she's looking at some time in the pokey, much like Judy Miller. I really don't think journalists deserve any special treatment under the law, especially since so many of them are a disgrace to that profession and the title. Herridge is outstanding, though.

Disgraceful

I think she knows something that we do not or is at least very certain about an event but not to where she can say it out loud and specifically. I take this as a very serious warning.

Always liked her on Fox, maybe a gig on Newsmax is in her future.

It's not unreasonable to say that she has an ear to the ground due to her job, and might see and hear things we don't. My wife and I both feel that the next year will be hairball, just utter chaos.

It's a reasonable concern without being an actual prediction.

The elephant in the room is the wide open border and the likelihood of sleeper cells comprised of foreign invaders.

Combine that with the fact that it's an election year and that the Democrats will do anything to retain power and you have a potential for chaos.

Hope she finds a new gig without all the limitations from her employer that she's faced in recent years.
I haven't watched the MSM, even the local version in years and don't feel like I've missed anything worth watching.
There are so many better sources now if you care to dig just a little bit.

She won't stay unemployed for very long.

That’s my feeling / hope as well. I hope she lands somewhere like Tucker’s channel where she can provide a more in-depth picture of what’s actually going on without fear of reprisal for the overlords…

Adding to the Herridge statement this comes out.

quote:

In a vague statement released Wednesday morning by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) raised a "serious national security threat" of which lawmakers have been briefed.

"Today, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has made available to all Members of Congress information concerning a serious national security threat," Chairman Turner said in a statement posted to X.

"I am requesting that President Biden declassify all information relating to this threat so that Congress, the Administration, and our allies can openly discuss the actions necessary to respond to this threat," he added.

This could be a boogey man created by the deep state to set the stage for election disruption or it could be something real or it could be nothing.
All we can do is wait and see and be prepared.

There were two reporters on Fox back when Herridge was on FNC who were head and shoulders above not only their Fox colleagues but everyone else on TV IMO. One was Catherine Herridge, and it was a huge mistake to let her leave for CBC. The other was and is Jennifer Griffin, FNC’s defense reporter. Griffin is not only an outstanding and trustworthy reporter, but a person who uses her knowledge and influence for good. During the Ukraine war, she worked with Save Our Allies to get seriously injured war correspondent Benjamin Hall to the Poland border where she had arranged for the US military to take him to Landstuhl military hospital. She’s also done other great work without fanfare.

I had forgotten about her.

I think Jennifer Griffin was out for a while due to cancer treatment, but yes, she was excellent. Lara Logan was pretty good too.

When Jennifer speaks, I listen!

Seriously, I don't remember what old TV ad I'm quoting, but Jennifer Griffen is everything you say, sjtill. She is one of the reasons I still watch Fox News despite recent well-deserved backlash.
