The Fox News group of networks hosts programs in two categories:

  • news
  • opinion

News was once lead by Shepard Smith—who recently resigned from Fox for undisclosed reasons—and by people like Neil Cavuto at Fox Business.

Their reports always dealt in verifiable facts.

Opinion is lead by shows like Fox & Friends and personalities like Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson. The opinion division at Fox has increasingly been populated with conspiracy theories and easily disproven misinformation or outright lies.

People have long wondered how the two divisions reconcile.

While Smith gave no reasons for his abrupt departure many speculated it was related to the opinion division not clearly identified as opinion, tainting the integrity and reputation of the news division journalists. Now another member of the Fox News team resigned and it seems that division is, in a word, divisive.

Veteran journalist Catherine Herridge called it quits with statements released by Fox News and CBS News—where she will begin working as an investigative correspondent.

The reason?

Giphy

While Fox News released a statement where Herridge thanked founder Rupert Murdoch and the network...

"...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."

...CBS' statement was a different variation on the same tune.

CBS quoted Herridge stating:

"CBS News has always placed a premium on enterprise journalism and powerful investigations. I feel privileged to join a team where facts and storytelling will always matter."


The repeated reference to "facts matter" was not lost on people.







People who didn't know Fox pundits were part of a non-news opinion only division were confused.


Others simply had congratulations.



Herridge was with Fox News for 23 years.

Herridge's book The Next Wave: On the Hunt for Al Qaeda's American Recruits is available here.

MAGA Melts Down After 'Woke' Pope Leo Urges The World To 'Search Always For Peace'

MAGA followers were not happy with Pope Leo XIV and accused him of being "woke" after he, in remarks to reporters, implored "people of good will" to "search always for peace."

The Pope spoke out after President Donald Trump insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

CNN Airs Montage Of Trump Praising Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens And Alex Jones After He Calls Them 'Losers' In Viral Rant

CNN aired a fitting montage after President Donald Trump launched a broad attack on several conservative media figures—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones—accusing them of being “stupid,” attention-seeking, and out of step with his political movement.

Carlson urged U.S. military aides to refuse any orders involving the killing of Iranian civilians. Owens, formerly of Turning Point USA, condemned the administration as “satanic” and called on Congress to remove what she described as the “Mad King Trump.”

Social media has not only made information more accessible, but it's made it so much harder to preserve privacy.

For social media influencers, it's important for them to be as discreet as they can be about their living location and frequent places that they visit, because otherwise their followers and viewers could begin to piece together where they go and where they live.
