Catherine Herridge, a beloved investigative correspondent at Fox News, is leaving the network after 23 years to go to work for CBS News. (Snip) The Congressional Medal of Honor Society recently gave Herridge a prestigious award. Media insiders tell me the CBS offer was just too good to pass up. Over the summer, Herridge’s contract lapsed and she was sorting out her future. Everyone I spoke with stressed how well-liked she is within Fox News.

Will CBS change, or will she? Something’s got to give.

This morning, someone, somewhere, mentioned it seemed to them that she was leaning the Other Way. She had a much better forum at Fox. What will she do at CBS? Tell the truth? That should be interesting….maybe.

Fox effed up in letting her jump to CBS. I hope she continues her good work, and by that I mean reporting the FACTS while leaving out any personal spin, or her bosses.

Somehow I doubt she will have the same news coverage, and her voice will be minimized.

Ms Herridge is a true reporter, but she can forget the FACTS and start the 'storytelling' at CBS. This is a bad move for a fine journalist, which she will find out, to her chagrin. At CBS they report what they areTOLD to report, not the facts.

She went for the money. SeeBS will not change and everyone, including Herridge knows it. Just another paid performer.

An excellent reporter. I wish her better luck at CBS than Sharyl Attkisson, who was frustrated in her efforts to cover Obama.

Catherine will be missed. She will be missed a lot more than that drama queen, Shep. One word of caution. Megyn Kelly, she left under much less favorable circumstances, she tried to go major network and she was fired within a year. She is now testing the waters for a possible return to FOX.
Catherine...Don't be like Megyn.

Interesting.
I wonder what was going on at Fox to make here want to leave. I can't imagine she will be happy at CBS. Well paid, perhaps, but not happy.

Is she being silenced? Does Fox not value her highly enough? I don't predict a positive outcome, despite her (apparent) financial windfall.

Assuming that she's correct in stating that "facts and storytelling" matter to CBS...that's difficult to square with their past history but even if it's accurate, they still get to decide exact which "facts" they'll pass on to their viewers. Herridge is excellent at what she does but I suspect that she'll get substantially less air time than she's gotten with Fox because the MSM rarely wants to report actual facts. Facts do not fit well with their narrative. I don't think she'll be there that long; she'll end up hating it there.

I believe she filed a discrimination claim against Fox at some point. That is probably why they didn't renew her contract.

"Story" might be legitimate regarding the network that sponsored "Danger Dan" Rather and his fictional, George W. Bush Texas Air National Guard trash. That was the first time Internet Sleuths exposed a bogus fake news narrative by noticing GW's TANG document allegedly from 1970, used Times New Roman font which wasn't available on typewriters (even the IBM Selectric) used back then. BUSTED!

Is she he one, or was it someone else at Fox news, who had heavy-duty cancer surgery several years ago? If she is the one, money could be an important consideration. Whatever the reason for her departure, absent her, quality at Fox is diminished.

As liberal as FOX has become, she probably figured why not? Seriously guys, few wouldn’t just go for the money. Oh yes, she is very smart and she knows what CBS will expect and she will obey her bosses just as we all must on the job.

Re #14, no, that was Jennifer Griffin. Gerri Willis, of Fox Business, also had a major cancer episode. Griffin’s appears to have turned her into a Liberal.
I have been thinking about this. Herridge sold out for shekels… It would be impossible for anyone with integrity to feel good about going over to CBS and giving them that booster language that is being quoted. Some had noticed that something about her had changed a while back. These deals don’t just come together overnight, so she knew and perhaps had already begun to adjust her narrative and her demeanor...

I hope she does better than Meghan Kelly did at NBC.
I really will miss her. She was classy and professional but i won't watch her at CBS.

Hope Ms Herridge got the same type of deal as Megyn Kelly got with NBC. I doubt there will be the theatrics that went with Ms Kelly at the Peacock, but I anticipate the same result (financially).

Obviously she went for the big bucks, why not, as a lot of the others have done the same.

I am saddened and disappointed that Fox News let her go. Her commentary was clear, concise, and well-informed. I relied on her reporting in order to stay informed on many important issues and news stories. I hope Fox News will get her back on the team eventually.

How sad. She told the truth too often, and was right on the trail of the criminal who tried to run a coup against the President.
So, slimey Paul Ryan got rid of her.

SeeBS will not let her report fairly on the coup plotters being uncovered and brought to justice by AG Barr and Durham.

I will miss her.
I hope there's a pot of gold down that rabbit hole.
Here's the danger. I'm a retired teacher. There's a saying I've seen tested and proved: A great teacher will not save a failing school. To the contrary, a failing school will ruin a great teacher.
Godspeed.

We should have known something was up when she got that award. ....First that, 'major award,' and next, CBS. It is disappointing to see her leave FOX for dem-biased alphabet net.

CBS is hiring her so they can fire her. Catherine should be careful who she beds with.

Reminds me of Mr. Potter offering George Bailey a job. If the fake news can't beat her, make her an offer so good she can't turn it down, then bury her doing puff pieces on dog shows and celebrity news. I hope her CBS contract gives her an out, doesn't have a non-compete clause, and doesn't require her to repay her signing bonus if she leaves.

I hope she got some professional advice from Sharyl Atkisson before she made the jump to CBS.

Time will tell her true motive ...$$ or another fake reporter, I noticed she appeared to change over the last few months. I always respected her reports. So far it’s Abby Huntsman, Megyn McCain now Katherine. Katherine is the only one I will miss.

She's making a big mistake. CBS will censor or shut down any investigation she undertakes, unless it's to lie for the sole purpose of taking down the current President.

In a personal statement, Ms. Herridge praised CBS News and feels privileged “to join a team where facts and storytelling will always matter.” As a longtime admirer of Ms. Herridge, this move to CBS is perplexing. With Norah O’Donnell now the anchor of CBS Evening News replacing personable Jeff Glor, and Susan Zirinsky “the first woman to lead the network’s news division,” time will tell if Ms. Herridge’s reporting will continue to be of the high standards it was with Fox News.
