Journalist held in contempt for refusing to reveal sources in Fox News investigation
LA TimesA court ruling found veteran TV news correspondent Catherine Herridge in civil contempt for refusing to identify sources related to a 2017 investigation she reported for Fox News. Years after the investigation, Herridge reported a number of stories for Fox News about the case, which looked into whether Chen concealed her former membership in the Chinese military on her immigration forms. But he added the court “also has its own role to play in upholding the law and safeguarding judicial authority.” In a statement, Fox News Media expressed its support for Herridge. “Fox News Media remains committed to protecting the rights of a free press and freedom of speech and believes this decision should be appealed.” Chen’s attorney Andrew C. Phillips praised the decision.
