Catherine Herridge BLASTS CBS News In Congressional Testimony, Gov't SEIZED Source Docs

@RookWorx, that is the oldest trick in the Dictators Playbook. From just one of the evil creatures who subjected millions. “Truth is the most precious thing.

WOW! Whom then does the JOURNALIST work for? Is it for the PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES, or CORPORATIONS, or THEIR OWN RECOGNITION and benefit? If what she says is accurate and journalists' are essentially OWNED.., then it is plain and obvious that news media is UNRELIABLE and bordering on pure propaganda. Is the HILL owed as well. @ 9:05 the host specifically admits to media bias but the most important thing she says is the admission that media SELECTS ands HIDES IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM WE THE PEOPLE.

The Hunter Biden laptop story is a liability you may not wish to publicise, so long as Joe Biden is President. CBS may lean Democrat, but the have to make a living no matter which party is in power. If airing a certain story may cost the network the ability to interview key people, they may choose to not run with the story. It happens. I am not defending the practice.
