We will start today’s shenanigans with a claim by the propagandist hacks at CBS News that they have finally, at long last released the files belonging to fired reporter Catherine Herridge:
SAG-AFTRA, which represents actors and other on-air TV and film personalities, had intervened on Herridge’s behalf, and issued a statement claiming one of its representatives had “monitored” the release of what is being called “hundreds of documents” Herridge had compiled while working at CBS:
The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) on Monday confirmed that "a representative of our union monitored the return of several boxes containing Catherine Herridge's reporting materials from her CBS News office in Washington D.C. Herridge is currently reviewing the materials."
"We welcome CBS News' reversal which came after SAG-AFTRA's intervention and widespread media coverage that underscored shared concerns about press freedom and the First Amendment," the union continued. "The resolution of this matter sends a strong message of protection for basic First Amendment principles. We further hope the public focus now turns to SAG-AFTRA's continued efforts to support a Press Shield law that provides additional federal protections for journalists and their confidential sources."
[End]
Ok, so, does anyone believe CBS actually returned all of Herridge’s work product files to her?
