Veteran Journalist Slams CBS News for Seizing Reporting Files: ‘Journalistic Rape’

Former CBS News and Fox News reporter Catherine Herridge testified on Thursday about the “journalistic rape” by CBS when the network seized her reporting files upon her dismissal.

“I was locked out of my emails and I was locked out of the office. CBS News seized hundreds of pages of my reporting files including confidential source information,” Herridge said in response to questioning from House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan (R., Ohio.)

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