Catherine Herridge, Fox News Veteran, Moves to CBS News
2019-11-01
[Variety] Catherine Herridge, a Fox News Channel veteran who has been with that network since it was founded in 1996, is moving to rival CBS News.

She will work as a senior investigative correspondent out of Washington, CBS News said, and will start in November.

Herridge is the second long-serving Fox News journalist to leave the Fox Corporation-owned cable-news outlet in recent weeks. Shepard Smith, another long-serving Fox News journalist who was seen as the network’s main breaking-news anchor, surprised viewers earlier this month by announcing his departure on a Friday-afternoon broadcast. Smith had tangled on air with opinion host Tucker Carlson.

#11  She hasn’t had a contract since August. I always thought her to be a no BS reporter with an exceptionally large Rolodex. Wishing her all the best.

#10   “I feel privileged to join a team where fake news and storytelling will always matter.”

#9  ^ If she went to CBS, she is already compromised.

#8  She is a solid reporter. I wish her well and I hope they don't compromise her. She will bring integrity to that newsroom.

#7  This is all about money, not politics.

Trump been berry berry good to me, say the suits and shareholders at NYT and the corporate parents of the cable outlets and broadcast networks.

Two Minutes' Hate-- actually, Nonstop 24/7 Hate of Any and All Things Trumpian -- is a formula for reversing the death of media.

During the Russia hoax, some of these profit-seeking entities were rolling in $$$$$. Post-Mueller, their ratings and ad $ fell off a cliff.

Hence the perpetual hoax, Russiagate 2, the Ukrainian Projection away from Chalupa and Burisma Bros and Hillary and Biden's Shitshows onto Trump.

Follow the money. These people aren't journalists.

They're whores who put on circus paint and perform in the burlesque tent at The Shitshow.

#6  She made an interesting comment that CBS is interested in facts. We know that is pretty much crap but I believe it was not praise of CBS but a dig at what Fox news has become after the kids took over. Always liked her appearances on Tucker. We'll see how she reports going forward. Can't blame her for soaking CBS for mucho dinero.

#5  Likely filed her last coup plot report. At CBS will be required to report on Trump awarding dogs medals Photoshop outrages.

#3  Going for the big bucks and easy job - she'll only have to do investigative reporting on Republicans, now.

#2  Always liked her. Were I less leary of wishful thinking, I might almost suspect her of cannily timing the turn of the tide, investigative journalism-wise. Almost.

#1  Her departure may give a new boost to recent speculation that the network’s news-side employees have grown frustrated during a period when its opinion hosts have largely used their programs to lend support to President Donald Trump and his administration, sometimes criticizing news reports.

Variety seizes the opportunity to mention their beloved Shep and blame Trump for career changes.
