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.”
