CBS found itself in hot water after axing investigative journalist Catherine Herridge, known for digging into stories about the Biden family. The network not only booted her out the door but also took it a step further by confiscating her files, computers, and records. That’s like taking away a reporter’s pen and notebook – not cool, CBS!
Herridge’s union, SAG-AFTRA, didn’t take too kindly to CBS playing file keep-away. They slammed CBS for setting a perilous precedent that could put the First Amendment in jeopardy. Even the House Judiciary Committee Chair wanted answers about who gave the order to fire Herridge and snatch her files. CBS was put on the spot, needing to come up with some explanations by March 1.

CBS tried to downplay the uproar, insisting they didn’t “seize” Herridge’s files but conveniently boxed up everything else except them. Sounds fishy, doesn’t it? Like trying to cover their tracks with a flimsy excuse. Maybe they were hoping nobody would notice… but surprise, surprise! Everyone did!
Fortunately, after feeling the heat turned up, CBS finally caved and returned Herridge’s files. Probably realized they were wading into murky waters and needed to clean up their mess. But the big question remains – why keep her files in the first place? Were they fishing for something juicy, or just making a power move? CBS better watch out, or they might find themselves in even deeper trouble.
With speculation swirling about who called the shots on snatching Herridge’s files, all eyes are on CBS bigwigs. If they don’t start coming clean soon, they could find themselves facing more than just a slap on the wrist. Let’s hope Herridge got all her files back untouched. Oh, the drama! CBS might need to up its game if they want to come out of this smelling like roses… but hey, they did return the files, so maybe there’s hope for them yet.
