Outstanding investigative reporter Catherine Herridge says it was “jounalistic rape” when CBS not only fired her but also seized her files, thus leaving her without a job and without a means of getting a new job. Wonder what rock she turned over. Must have been a really big one.

Alternative theory of the case: It’s not some inconvenient story that Catherine Herridge uncovered, but simply her age that got her fired. At 59, she is a very pretty middle-aged woman who reminds me of my favorite high school teacher. But she is not a 30-year-old tanned, toned, bleached blonde with hair displayed over one shoulder like military insignia. And that’s who the media big shots want to spoon-feed us our news.
