Fired Reporter Catherine Herridge Accuses Network Of ‘Journalistic Rape’ For Seizing Files |U.S LIVE

Catherine Herridge — the acclaimed CBS News investigative journalist known for her reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop scandal — accused the network of “journalistic rape” for seizing her files after she was fired during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday.

Breaking her silence for the first time since her controversial dismissal in February, Herridge called the move by her former bosses an assault on journalism.

“When my records were seized I felt it was a journalistic rape,” Herridge testified at the hearing, titled “Fighting for a Free Press: Protecting Journalists and their Sources.”

“When the network of Walter Cronkite seizes your reporting files, including confidential source information, that is an attack on investigative journalism.”

The Emmy-award winning reporter — who is in the middle of a First Amendment case being closely watched by journalists nationwide — also said that confiscating her files could have put her sources at risk.

This woman is fantastic. Shocking that they tried to destroy her. Further proof she is good.

Increasingly, we are seeing fundamental rights being undermined by unelected bureaucrats who must, somehow, be held accountable.

[fhzwdjn]

These judges need to go jail because they are not judging.

[HeatGeek]

I think it's likely that Ms Herridge served in the Marine corps before starting her reporting career. Somebody get that woman a presidential medal of freedom please!

[marjoriehoglund]

This women is so clear about what has been done to her ! She is very CONFIDENT and CALM !

[seahog]

Fox News treated this lady with class and would never had done what CBS did. But then again they fired Tucker for speaking truth to power.

[fhzwdjn]

CBS needs to turn from their ways. That is why I do not watch it any longer.

[cfursgy]

Unfortunately journalism died a long time ago. We are just pretending that it hasn't.

Catherine Herridge and Jennifer Griffin are Both, The Best In The World.

[drendaparfitt]

Very sad 😢 God bless these women and stay strong.

[abringering]

She has always been one of my favorite journalists. Old school, great researcher, no spin and full of integrity. Educated, award winning and brilliant!
What that network did to her is a disgrace. No wonder they’re losing viewers!

[psmamere]

This Lady is a golden gem shining like a golden star shining loud and clear.

Obviously the government is mad because there is one journalist who sounds like a non government employee

[gg-wkww]

Federal and state agencies are not allowed to impose fines on the public. There must be laws already in place to impose fines, not just make up whatever amount they choose to fine .

[fhzwdjn]

I have respect Ms. Herridge and she deserves Justice.

[gregoryphillips]

May God condemn the Biden Administration.

[bellsbc]

Who can bring justice now? How do we stop this nonsense?

[michelebashore]

Catherine's one of the few journalist's left that remains unbiased in political investigation's and her reporting! She's also a breast cancer survivor, who had double mastectomy even while she was receiving chemo, she continued to work. It's really saddens me that CBS, Biden and the Democratic Party is putting her through this, just for telling the truth!!

[genxmurse]

We have arrived to this point, because too many people like herself have been calling this country, a "democracy."

[xqta]

Amazing, we need new laws that require government courts to follow the law. How will that work? Can that work logically ?
