Catherine Herridge Reveals Story About CBS and Elon Musk That Explains Why Legacy Media Is Imploding

How bad is the media? 

We’ve seen a lot of examples of the mainstream media seeming to act like an arm of the Democratic Party. 

But a story from Catherine Herridge may tell the tale of how much media has truly abandoned their purported jobs of journalism. Herridge explained on News Nation how she had the opportunity in the fall of 2023 to do a live interview with X owner Elon Musk on X about the revelations in the Twitter files.

That would have been a big interview with a lot of things breaking at the time from the files, revealing a lot about social media censorship and government involvement. 

But listen as Herridge explains what happened next. 

She took it to the CBS executives and they told her she “couldn’t do it live.”

She asked, “What do you mean I can’t do it live?”

“Well, we don’t know what he’s going to say” was their replay according to Herridge. 

She said she replied to her bosses, “Isn’t that what journalism is all about?”

Herridge explained that CBS then tried to condition the interview with possible alternatives, including having it edited, taped, and only on CBS. She said she felt so ashamed that a news organization would place so many restrictions on an interview like that that she couldn’t go back to Elon Musk, the free speech advocate. But it indicates how fearful CBS was that something that they might not want to come out might come out in such an interview. When you think that way, you’re no longer operating as a journalistic organization. You should want to report on the truth, whatever it is. 

Herridge was then laid off in February when she was also looking into the Hunter Biden laptop story and they laid off other employees. CBS also stepped into a huge controversy when they edited the “60 Minutes” interview of Kamala Harris in a way that appeared to reduce her ridiculous word salads in the run-up to the election. Herridge – one of the last good journalists out there – called upon them to release the transcript of the interview. 

This story just cements it, but that’s one of the reasons why people no longer have any trust in legacy media. They also can’t get the viewership that stories can now get on X, as Herridge explained last week. People can find the news on X without having to view it through a legacy media filter. 

Legacy media seems to be imploding. This CBS story is a great example of why.
