Former CBS News correspondent Scott MacFarlane has got himself a job at the left-wing MeidasTouch Network just nine days after being fired from the network.
MacFarlane announced Monday that he will join MeidasTouch as chief Washington correspondent and host a daily program titled Scott MacFarlane Reports.
The move comes after his departure from CBS News, where he covered Congress and the Justice Department, including cases related to January 6th and prosecutions of President Trump.
Despite joining a network known for its links to the Democratic Party, MacFarlane insisted he is not shifting into opinion journalism.
“I’m not an opinionist, not an editorialist,” MacFarlane said in a message posted on X.
“I’m far from a politician. I’m an enterprise reporter. Have been for a quarter century.”
“What I’ll do is bring this enterprise reporting to all the components of the MeidasTouch network, all the contributors of the MeidasTouch Network.”
“It’s important when we underscore how significant this moment is, this moment of unique political toxicity and unique political danger.
“MeidasTouch and I have long shared this same philosophy — you don’t platform lies. You don’t platform conspiracy theories. And you don’t allow for the whitewashing of history.”
ALERT: Professional news. Nine days after leaving CBS, I have found a new professional home:

MeidasTouch, founded by the Meiselas brothers, gained traction during the 2020 election cycle through viral anti-Trump content.
It has since expanded into a larger digital platform focused on political left-wing political messaging.
MacFarlane was widely mocked for his predictable career move.
“Every reporter who “leaves” (more like fired from) their outlet always comes out as a deranged liberal,” wrote White House communications director Steven Cheung.
”Every. Single. Damn. Just goes to show how biased news media has become.”

Scott MacFarlane’s career trajectory is why no one trusts the corporate media.
Many so-called journalists are nothing more than left wing hacks who are 30 seconds away from going to work for a left wing superpac. https://t.co/r721FvHLRO

To all the CBS News journalists who celebrated Scott MacFarlane when he left as a consummate professional and incredible journalist, you were telling on yourself as liberal, partisan hacks now that he’s at MeidasTouch

CBS, meanwhile, is undergoing a major shake up under its new CEO Bari Weiss.
Weiss has made her intention to make the network a more impartial source of news rather than just another Democratic propaganda network.
