Here's an update on how many journos have been tripping over each other to defend CBS News' Catherine Herridge after Biden staffer's attack (it's a VERY short read)

We told you yesterday that CBS News’ Catherine Herridge shared a declassified list of Obama administration officials who requested the unmasking of Michael Flynn. Herridge’s tweet triggered the Biden campaign’s rapid response director to such a degree that he attacked the reporter (which for some reason sparked an almost immediate media blackout):

The tweet was eventually deleted, but not before dozens of Herridge’s media colleagues came to her defense. Wait, that’s not what happened:

24 hours since Joe Biden’s campaign outrageously and unfairly attacked CBS News’ @CBS_Herridge. Not one colleague of Herridge’s has come to her defense – @MajorCBS, @Weijia, @PaulaReidCBS, @margbrennan – no one. @jaketapper is the only prominent media member I’ve seen who has. pic.twitter.com/G7con35KBY

Shocker!

And Tapper did defend Herridge, but immediately pivoted to Trump and his media slams.

Jake Tapper did with a caveat in his next tweet.

Tapper came with a qualifier like the hack he is though.

So it doesn’t look like Jim Acosta’s going to add an extra chapter to his “dangerous time to tell the truth in America” book, nor will most other “journalists” take note. And it doesn’t appear that CNN’s Brian Stelter has found it worth mentioning either.
