Senior correspondent Catherine Herridge has been fired by CBS News:
Bloodbath at CBS News claims senior correspondent embroiled in First Amendment case — and another who weathered HR probe: sources https://t.co/PmZguOOQ5x pic.twitter.com/wq49Kxj7nJ

From the article:
Catherine Herridge — an award-winning senior correspondent whose First Amendment case is being closely watched by journalists nationwide — was among the hundreds of employees at CBS parent Paramount who got pink slips on Tuesday, sources told The Post.
Insiders said Herridge had clashed with CBS News president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews — a sharp-elbowed executive who was investigated in 2021 over favoritism and discriminatory hiring and management practices, as revealed by The Post
We're not going to speculate on the timing of, or the reasons for, this decision, as there hasn't been a formal announcement from CBS News or Herridge.
Some people are finding it a bit suspicious, though:

Wow!! She is an intelligent and fair journalist! @CBSNews seems to only want biased reporting.

Sad!
Rule number 1, do not tell the truth or you’ll be fired.

Looks like she was guilty of being a journalist. Can't have that!

Others had suggestions for the award-winning correspondent's next move:
SHOCK: CBS has purged 800 of their 'conservative' reporters and staffers including Catherine Herridge aka @CBS_Herridge. Perhaps there is a spot for her at @TuckerCarlson's company... pic.twitter.com/vBXE3dqfXi

She should focus more on X, it's best platform for journalist pic.twitter.com/izK2vnYWT8

Or with @SharylAttkisson

Regardless of where Herridge winds up next, it's a pretty safe bet that she'll land on her feet.
