CBS Did “Journalistic Rape”
CBS engaged in “journalistic rape,” says an award-winning reporter, Catherine Herridge, who had her computer and private files seized by the network after they decided to fire her. She said CBS crossed “a red line” with its errant behavior and put her news sources at risk.
Herridge spoke Thursday at a U.S. House hearing in which reporters told how they endured censorship and other indignities after doing hard-hitting investigative reports on government officials and federal agencies. Besides Herridge, Edgar R. Murrow award-winning reporter Sharyl Attkinson also testified.
Here they are questioned by U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. All we can say: Walter Cronkite would turn over in his grave if he knew what CBS was doing nowadays. A truly disgraceful performance by a news network!
