A top Biden communications aide attacked CBS’ Catherine Herridge over a Wednesday report showing the names of the officials who unmasked former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Herridge went public with documents, declassified by acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, that revealed former Vice President Joe Biden was among those who had called for Flynn to be unmasked. (Snip)Andrew Bates, rapid response director for Biden’s presidential campaign, referred to Herridge in a now-deleted tweet as a “partisan, rightwing hack” and a “regular conduit for conservative media manipulation ploys,” appearing to take issue with her for not reaching out to Biden for comment prior to publishing the documents.

Catherine Herridge is among the best and most professional reporters anywhere today. I was surprised when she left Fox to go to CBS, so I'm not surprised to see she is getting attacked there for doing her usual outstanding job. Who knows, she may show one or two CBS reporters what it's like to be a real reporter.

As they say, if you’re taking flak you must be over the target

She is a professional journalist and her job performance only emphasizes the degree to which most current "reporters" are not - not even close. If the report sheds a bad light on Democrats, so be it and the same for Republicans. No talking points, no going along to get along - just facts and professionalism. Amazing how refreshing that is.

I thought liberals (democrats) get upset when a 'journalist' is attacked, especially when it's political. And name a liberal journalist that 'reaches' out when his hit piece involves a Republican.

#1- Catherine Herridge is an outstanding journalist possessing intellect, integrity, and compassion--a classy lady. Her move to CBS was stunning and a tremendous disappointment to many of her admirers. Curiously, it seems since Nora O’Donnell became the anchor for CBS Evening News, two female journalists have become quite aggressive as evidenced by Paula Reid and Weijia Jiang who are CBS White House correspondents. Stark difference between Catherine Herridge and class, versus what some may consider as crass.

I like Catherine Herridge. She has talent. She doesn't need skimpy clothing or (bottled) blond hair to do her job.

When you can't pound the message, pound the message bearer. Next the aide will need to pound the table.

first, what good would have done to go to Old Jo for a comment? Herridge had a hot story, and reported on an official government document. And when Old Jo was asked about it, he lied. Then after a prompt from his handlers, said he didn't understand the question.
second, Jiang is a graduate of the Newhouse School of Syracuse University. She is not a good example as a product of Newhouse.
i doubt they would be proud of her. (Megan Kelly applied to Newhouse, and was rejected. Just sayin...)
Herridge sets the standard for competent journalists, in my opinion. I like her. cbs made a smart hire.

Seems that Bates is suffering from some flopsweat, panic and desperation.

He is doing that do deflect attention from Biden’s horrific performance in the basement. Today he said something like 65 million people have the virus. The guy is whacked out with worsening dementia. Hillary waiting in the wings...LOL.

Mr Bates what is the big deal - Biden will say he doesn’t remember just like the others who unmasked Flynn. You better worry about Biden’s town halls and debates because he is far from ready.

Catherine Herridge would be a fine replacement for Tim Russert on Meet the Press. He would be proud to see her in his seat I am sure. Most of the rest of the press corp is not worthy to shine her shoes as they say. She is honest and follows through with straight stories neither right nor left. Just the facts as they say. CBS would have a boom in ratings if they would use her properly.

Sorry about the second post. Anyway, I love her as a journalist. She's a straight shooter and always hits her mark! However, sorry to see her working for CBS.
