Former CBS News reporter Scott MacFarlane announced on Monday that he is joining the far-left media company MeidasTouch.<\/p>\n

MeidasTouch, which was initially formed as a political action committee designed to attack President Donald Trump<\/a> in 2020, has since piled up over 6 million subscribers on YouTube. Earlier this month, MacFarlane bolted CBS News amid editor-in-chief\u00a0Bari Weiss<\/a>\u2019 reshaping of the organization.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I have a new platform for my independent, unfiltered reporting. Effective immediately, I am chief Washington correspondent for the MeidasTouch network,” MacFarlane said when announcing the move on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MacFarlane said he would anchor a daily program starting in the coming weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“MeidasTouch and I share the same north star of communicating. When you have news to break, or something important to explain, just get to it,” MacFarlane said as he snapped his fingers at viewers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Straight to the point, as soon as you open the camera and open the microphone, simply, declaratively, conversationally, explain what\u2019s happening. Explain what it means,” he added. “Put aside the production theater, and the useless bells and whistles. Just get to it.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

NPR referred<\/a> to MeidasTouch as “unapologetically partisan” and an “amped-up MSNBC” in a report last year. MSNBC, the progressive cable news network, changed its name to MS NOW late last year.<\/p>\n

MacFarlane then said he\u2019s not an editorialist or a politician, but rather an “enterprise reporter.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

MacFarlane, who provided extensive Jan. 6 reporting for the network in recent years, said we\u2019re living in a moment of “unique political toxicity and unique political danger.”<\/p>\n

“The MeidasTouch and I have long shared this same philosophy; you don\u2019t platform lies. You don\u2019t platform conspiracy theories, and you don\u2019t allow for the whitewashing of history,” MacFarlane said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many have speculated that MacFarlane simply wasn\u2019t a good fit at CBS under Weiss<\/a>, who is seeking to tone down the partisan coverage at the network. His move conjures up memories of former CBS News reporter Kate Smith, who left the network to take a news director position at Planned Parenthood in 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Many conservatives took to social media to offer thoughts on MacFarlane\u2019s move.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Journalist Mike Cote wrote, “This is why nobody on the political right buys the \u2018legacy media is unbiased\u2019 claptrap. When a longtime CBS reporter gets a new job with a Resistance slop clickbait farm in less than 2 weeks, the truth is pretty damn obvious.”<\/p>\n

EX-CBS REPORTER WHO JOINED PLANNED PARENTHOOD DENIES PRIOR BIASED REPORTING<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

White House director of communications Steven Chueng said the move shows how “biased news media has become.”<\/p>\n

“Every reporter who \u2018leaves\u2019 (more like fired from) their outlet always comes out as a deranged liberal. Every. Single. Damn. Time,” Chueng wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Titles of recent videos posted to the MeidasTouch YouTube page include “Trump PANICS and LIES He MADE DEAL TO END WAR,” “Trump HIT BY KARMA in WAR as TABLES ARE TURNED,” “Trump\u2019s HEALTH CRASHES in WAR as 25th AMENDMENT DEMANDED” and “Trump PANICS as Troops TURN AGAINST HIM in WAR.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
