Catherine Herridge Claims CBS Censored Biden Laptop Story

Catherine Herridge, a former CBS investigative reporter, has publicly accused the network of suppressing her reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop story just weeks before the 2020 election. In her recent newsletter, she detailed how she brought verified evidence, including a million dollar retainer from a Chinese energy firm and communications involving Hunter Biden, to CBS executives, but was met with resistance. Herridge expressed dismay when she later saw a '60 Minutes' segment in which correspondent Lesley Stahl claimed the laptop 'couldn’t be verified', contradicting her findings. She highlighted a disconnect within CBS, noting that the investigative unit was not directed to pursue the story further. Herridge's experience reflects a broader narrative of alleged media suppression during the election cycle, raising questions about journalistic integrity. Her claims come amid ongoing scrutiny of media practices and the handling of politically sensitive stories.
