Jumping to CBS News

Fox News Reporter Catherine Herridge is making the leap across the street to CBS News.

Herridge had been with Fox News since it first started.

"I am grateful to Mr. Murdoch for the opportunity to cover the most impactful stories of the last 23 years, most recently the Special Counsel report and impeachment inquiry. I have received great personal satisfaction from mentoring the next generation of reporters and producers and sharing my journalistic values - that facts matter and enterprise reporting will always win the day," Herridge said.

CNN is playing up Herridge’s leaving as a “major defection.”

Or maybe it shows that cable news people are willing to leave first place cable stations for last place broadcast stations because it is a better opportunity.
