I. Am. Shocked.
Scott MacFarlane left CBS a few weeks ago, supposedly because Bari Weiss took over CBS News.
MacFarlane wanted “more independence.”
I guess that independence means having the ability to not hide his personal political views, which we all know the MSM rarely allows its reporters to do.
Why do I say that?
Because MacFarlane joined MeidasTouch, a far-left outlet that started as an anti-Trump PAC.
“I have a new platform for my independent, unfiltered reporting, effective immediately,” said McFarlane. “I’m Chief Washington correspondent for the Midas touch network.”
I. Am. Dead.
In other words, MacFarlene doesn’t have to hide his bias:
MacFarlane’s portrayal of MeidasTouch as a beacon of “independent” reporting is at odds with the company’s background.The group, founded by brothers Brett, Jordy, and Ben Meiselas, launched in 2020 as a political action committee to stop President Donald Trump’s reelection. The organization spent more than $4 million that year on “door to door” canvassing and television ads, according to campaign finance records. In one ad, MeidasTouch accused Trump of committing “mass murder” through his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. MeidasTouch also ran ads in the Georgia special elections in 2020, calling Republican Senate candidates Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue the “grinches of Georgia.”The PAC faced criticism from some on the Left for being insufficiently helpful to Democrats. A 2021 Rolling Stone piece headlined “The Trouble With MeidasTouch” accused the PAC of “grandiose self-promotion,” arguing that it engaged in “misleading” fundraising practices and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on “ineffective” ads aimed more at “brand-building and fundraising on helping Democrats take back the Senate.” The Meiselas brothers—one of whom, Ben, is known for working with left-wing activist and former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick as an attorney and business partner—responded by threatening to sue Rolling Stone.
Steven Cheung, an assistant to President Donald Trump and White House Director of Communications, said it best:
Every reporter who “leaves” (more like fired from) their outlet always comes out as a deranged liberal. Every. Single. Damn. Time.Just goes to show how biased news media has become.
It’s not that they come out as a leftist. We always knew. These people never hide it because they usually don’t have to hide it at their outlet.
Jim Acosta. Chuck Todd. Don Lemon. Joy Reid.
They either launch podcasts or a Substack newsletter. Sometimes both.
They all seem to say the same thing, too. They want to bring in the real news! They don’t want to be held back!
No, you just want to unleash your leftist views that you hid so poorly at your network job.
