Herridge always buried her personal opinions professionally at Fox. I suspect they'll be more prominently on display where she's headed.

Chances are, though, she'll end up like Carl Cameron, plied for dirt on FNC and then consigned to some journalistic dustbin.

I agree.

I wonder if the audience for CBS News is as meagre as that for CNN and MSNBC? At least at FOX, she knew people were watching.

The non cable network news shows draw far more than FOX News. Fifteen to twenty million people watch CBS News nightly compared to two or three million for FOX News.
It's interesting she said she likes CBS News for their storytelling as well as reporting factual news. Unfortunately, there's far more storytelling than reporting of factual news.
