The firing of Scott Pelley by ’60 Minutes’ has angered all of the right people and exposed the fact that the liberal elites in our media have no idea how many people in America no longer trust them.
Jake Tapper of CNN invited Scott MacFarlane onto his show, a journalist who left CBS News for a far left outlet called Meidas News, along with Terry Moran, who was fired by ABC News over an indefensible anti-Trump tweet, to react to the Pelley news.
MacFarlane showed that these people are utterly clueless about their situation.

Former CBS correspondent-turned-MeidasTouch pundit Scott MacFarlane scoffs at the notion found in polls Americans don’t trust the media…
“I would venture the bold prediction that, if Americans were surveyed about the trustworthiness of 60 Minutes, it may have more support and more trust, more credibility with Americans than the general milquetoast term “media.” What is the media at this point that they’re being polled on? Are they talking about specific programs, specific sources of information?
Are they talking about the garbage on the internet, the garbage on talk radio? Are they talking about the actual verified, bonafide source sources of journalism? The ones who actually have credibility and empirical evidence to back up their reporting. This all feels to me like apples and oranges.”
