Media Matters for America seems particularly upset with CBS News for letting a former Fox News reporter report on the Hunter Biden laptop. We guess it’s because Catherine Herridge used to be with Fox News, because both the New York Times and the Washington Post have finally conceded that the laptop is real and the emails found on it are authentic. We notice that Media Matters uses the word “fake” in their post, so do they mean the scandal is fake, or are they still sticking to the story that the laptop is fake and was planted by the Russians?
NEW: CBS News let a former Fox News personality promote a fake, Republican-driven scandal from when Joe Biden wasn’t even in office. This comes on the heels of the network hiring Trump's former chief of staff as a contributor. https://t.co/YUBrMuNngN

Media Matters’ Eric Kleefeld reports:
On Thursday, CBS News senior investigative correspondent Catherine Herridge vividly illustrated how to be a mouthpiece for fake Republican outrage and contribute to the fabrication of a political scandal, all while missing obvious indicators of just how baseless the latest accusations against President Joe Biden’s family have been.
In a news segment on CBS Mornings, Herridge highlighted the ongoing attempts by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) to investigate business dealings by President Joe Biden’s son Hunter and the president’s brother James. Previously, Herridge helped to promote Grassley’s efforts during the 2020 election to smear the Bidens in relation to Hunter’s business ventures during his father’s time in office as vice president. (Herridge actually exaggerated those allegations further, going beyond the statements that even Senate Republicans were willing to make at the time.)
So who is “the big guy” and did he get his 10 percent?
MMFA is insisting the Hunter Biden scandal is “fake” despite NYT, Politico, WaPo etc. finally admitting it’s 100% real. Now they’re attacking one of the most accomplished female journalists to discredit her reporting. All to defend a degenerate addict under investigation by DOJ. https://t.co/f6T97j6AkD

A weak ploy to garner attention by MMFA. There are verified authentic and uncorrupted versions of the hard drive in secure places. No loss of custody. JP is an acquaintance of mine. A true patriot. He has never perused the laptop beyond his initial discover of disturbing info.

The only reason they are defending a degenerate addict is his degenerate father.

Catherine Herridge is one of the most ethical, fact-based journalists on TV. Media Matter, on the other hand, is pure partisan crap.

Herridge is a better investigative journalist than the entire staff at @mmfa put together

That’s a given.
It’s not fake though.

Media Matters is a complete joke that NO ONE PAYS ATTENTION TO.

We have no evidence to show that Media Matters has ever managed to sway the needle in its direction with its “reporting.” But Catherine Herridge used to work for Fox News, so obviously the whole story’s fake.
