Another employee of Fox leaves because facts matter

[someoneyouknow]

It seems to be odd hearing someone from the Fox tabloid talk about facts, other than Shepard Smith, but apparently there are still a few holdouts, one of whom has said sayonara to the tabloid. Catherine Herridge, an employee of the tabloid since 1996 and the chief intelligence correspondent, has not renewed her contract but has instead taken up roots with CBS News.

In a statement released through Fox, Herridge thanked Fox patriarch Rupert 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."

In a statement released through CBS, Herridge also invoked the importance of facts, but in a way that could be interpreted as a criticism of Fox: "CBS News has always placed a premium on enterprise journalism and powerful investigations," she said. "I feel privileged to join a team where facts and storytelling will always matter."​

As the tabloid increasingly resorts to "pull my finger" programming and embraces white supremacist values (something they consider a "conservative" viewpoint), it is clear the reason their ratings are what they are. People would rather be entertained than informed.
