Surprise! "Objective Journalist" Who Assails Bari Weiss's Normie Liberalism as Being Far Right Wing Quits CBS to Join a... Left-Wing Pro-Biden Propaganda PAC

It's weird how these people who all swore for years that they were nonpartisan straight shooters keep joining hard-left organizations.

Ex-CBS sissy Scott McFarlane is the latest.

He's joining a left-wing propaganda twitter account called "MeidasTouch." (You can tell it's a first-rate journalistic operation by the "punny" name.) I wish I could tell you more about them. They just post clickbait/ragebait headlines all day. I had no idea had any pretensions of being an actual news site. They just re-state whatever the cult meme of the day is.

McFarlane was "disillusioned" by the editorial direction Bari Weiss was taking CBS but he's very happy now to be working for Temu Jezebel.

CBS Alum Scott McFarlane Joining Left-Wing MediasTouch as Chief Washington Correspondent

Former CBS News correspondent Scott MacFarlane joins left-leaning outlet MeidasTouch as Chief Washington Correspondent and will anchor a daily program, Scott McFarlane Reports.
Former CBS News correspondent Scott MacFarlane revealed Monday that he will join the left-leaning outlet MeidasTouch, just weeks after abrupt exit from the network amid reports he had grown "disillusioned" under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss's leadership.
In a video posted Monday to X, MacFarlane confirmed the "good news" that MeidasTouch had brought him onto the platform as chief Washington correspondent and added that he will soon anchor a daily program, Scott McFarlane Reports, positioning himself at the center of the network's political coverage.
MacFarlane framed the move as a shift toward stripped-back reporting, saying MeidasTouch shares his approach of delivering news "straight to the point" and avoiding "production theater and the useless bells and whistles."

Yes, "straight to the point."

It's explicitly a propaganda organ of the Democrat Party, formed by allies of Joe Biden to pump out regime propaganda.

@BrentScher
No, you don't get it. I'm not saying Meidas Touch is openly partisan -- it is literally a PAC. It was founded as a political operation during COVID to help Joe Biden.

Back to the article:

He stressed: "I'm not an opinionist, I'm an editorialist, I'm far from a politician. I'm an enterprise reporter and have been for a quarter of a century."
"This moment of unique political toxicity and unique political danger," MacFarlane continued, adding that he and the network share a commitment that "you don't platform lies, you don't platform conspiracy theories, and you don't allow for the whitewashing of history."

He says he shares their "north star" of reporting... pic.twitter.com/pGV1u3e9ML

Related: CNN is failing so badly and losing so much to podcasts that they're now pretending they are podcasters themselves.

Jake Tapper, for example, did a show from his home office. An office festooned with the political geek version of movie geek paraphrenalia.

They truly do think they are the moderates and the majority. They are that blinkered.

It does explain how shows like Mr Beast can claim such vast numbers when, let's be honest: how many of you even know someone who watches his stuff? I know we're all old here but you have grandkids and stuff. Some of you will say yes, but he has the most popular channel on earth with BILLIONS of views. With that kind of coverage everyone should be familiar with or watch that show.

89 Looks like you can get a smartphone for like $30 now. Doesn't need to do much, just run video apps. So, that's probably enough.

1,000 of them is $30,000. Assume rental spaces and energy costs are like...$5,000 a month.

Can you charge and secure customers to run 24/7? What do you charge per view to just meet your initial capital investment and make more than your monthly payments?

Seems doable, to be honest.

160 Be careful playing Pickleball.
-----

Marketing Pickleball to older adults was always a *terrible* idea. The game essentially takes away the "safe" part of playing tennis--the moving from one shot to the next, and leaves ONLY the strenuous moves--the windup of the shot itself, the sudden lurch into motion to get back into position, and the slamming on of the brakes once one realizes the true direction of the incoming shot. Its a game almost entirely of jarring movements because the court isn't big enough to actually take more than a couple of steps without having to suddenely stop yet again.

166 That viewer farm... I can't see how anyone could make money at it. I mean, the farm sure, but if you pay someone to do that, how much are you really going to earn on your You Tube channel? Contrary to popular opinion it does NOT pay a lot to be popular on there.

It does explain how shows like Mr Beast can claim such vast numbers when, let's be honest: how many of you even know someone who watches his stuff? I know we're all old here but you have grandkids and stuff. Some of you will say yes, but he has the most popular channel on earth with BILLIONS of views. With that kind of coverage everyone should be familiar with or watch that show.

Something just don't add up here.

For a while there Mr Beast had more views than India's largest content provider that streamed their sports and Bollywood movies to the folks in India. I found that hard to credit, since I not only have not seen him much but I only rarely hear anyone refer to having watched his stuff.

Not if every part of it is either stolen, or paid for with defrauded/stolen money. Every time you see something that doesn't make economic sense, up your mental estimate of how much of the economy is money laundering, and how much of the rest is organized crime in need of money laundering. I think most of Europe and the Anglosphere is approaching Oops Killed The Host levels of parasitism, judging by their persistent military ineptitude while claiming the world's on fire and they take it very seriously. Either they don't take it seriously, or they *can't* do anything about it, and the latter would help explain their supine submission to lightly-armed barbarian invasion.

182 Darn it. Horde entertainment options keep dwindling.

From Deadline.

There will be no third season for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. The latest installment in the Star Trek franchise will end with the upcoming second season, Deadline has confirmed.

“We’re incredibly proud of the ambition, passion, and creativity that went into bringing Star Trek: Starfleet Academy to life,” CBS Studios and Paramount+ said in a joint statement. “The series introduced audiences to a bold new group of characters, welcomed familiar faces, and expanded the Star Trek universe in exciting new ways."

I did see about 3 minutes. First thoughts. Starfleet Academy doesn't have fitness requirements or beauty standards.

And DS9 should really be on PlutoTV.

184 As we know that CBS has a long history of never platforming lies.

CBS caught lying:

1971 - CBS News secretly funds an attempt to overthrow Haitian dictator Francois Duvalier in order to shoot the invasion for a television documentary

1980 - 60 Minutes warns that Jeep CJ-5 has a high rollover danger, later it is revealed that testers only logged eight rollovers out of 435 runs and had hung weights on the sides of the Jeep, not visible on camera.

1986 - 60 Minutes reports that Audi 500s are prone to sudden uncontrollable acelleration. Later a disclosed he had fiddled with the sedan’s transmission and a study showed that almost all examples were driver error.

1991 - 60 minutes runs a piece on "Father of self-help" Werner Erhard in which his daughter accused him of tax fraud molesting her. She later admits that she’d been offered a financial incentive to make the allegations and the IRS retracted its claims and paid a settlement to Ehrhard.

1998 - 60 Minutes runs a piece on a memo claiming that Immigrations officials aided in drug smuggling from Mexico, which was later determined to be fake.

2004 - RaTHergate

188 CBS lies continued:

2007 - Katie Couric runs a piece of libararies largely plagiarized from a column by Jeffrey Zaslow in The Wall Street Journal

2012 - Steve Kroft, co-editor of 60 Minutes, interviewed Barack Obama immediately following the noted Rose Garden press conference held in response to the 2012 Benghazi attack. CBS withheld significant parts of the interview that confirm the President's refusal to acknowledge the attack as a confirmed act of terror

2013 - an ex-security officer named Dylan Davies, who claimed to have raced to the scene and engaged attackers during the attack on a U.S. compound in Benghazi. Davies gave a different account to the FBI, and CBS News had to issue a retraction.

2017 - when a retarded black man is held and tortured to death, CBS implies that it was done white Trump supporters by not identifying the race of the torturers, mentioning that the "N word" was used repeatedly, and Trump was mentioned several times.

2020 - CBS runs footage of of a hospital in Bergamo, Italy aired three days earlier by Sky News, claiming it showed chaos in New York City hospitals.

He says he owned a home in Canada, but now he's getting help from his octogenarian father so his kids can live with him (Italian wife is still in Italy, fearing to come to the States because she might be deported). So he must have depleted his proceeds from the house.

I think that guy is doomed unless his father dies and leaves him something he can start a business with. An Airbnb or something like that.

315 I don't get the "Shabbos goy" slur. People do this for extra $$$, in many cases. Sometimes it's just a dude helping a Jewish neighbor, but they usually get paid. I know of least one guy who turned it into a business, with a route and everything.

I know at least one guy who turned it into a blog.

324 Why would a University president get pissy about the student paper running a hit piece on him?

All his students know he's a piece of shit. All of his professors are pieces of shit, but know he's the biggest turd in their small pond. The janitors know he's a piece of shit. His wife knows he's a piece of shit. He owns a mirror he uses to admire his own turdly visage, so he also knows he's a piece of shit.

It's not like they broke some blockbuster story.
