CBS Sparks Controversy by Seizing Investigative Reporter's Files

CBS seized the personal files and work laptop of fired reporter Catherine Herridge, who was investigating the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, in an "unprecedented" move following her termination. The network's decision has raised concerns about potential violations of journalistic integrity and source confidentiality, as well as implications for Herridge's ongoing First Amendment case. The move has sparked criticism from legal scholars, concerns from the journalist's union, and speculation about the network's motives, with implications for press freedom and ethical journalistic practices.
