CBS News Journo Leaving the Network and Going Straight to This Lefty Outlet Shocks Nobody – Twitchy

In the past we’ve been told that “journalists” don’t root for a side and are completely objective in their reporting. At least that’s what we think they said — we were too busy laughing while “journalists” were making that claim. 

With that we bring you this announcement from a reporter who recently departed CBS News as its DC justice correspondent: 

ALERT: Professional news. Nine days after leaving CBS, I have found a new professional home:

Meidas Touch, eh? Was CBS News not quite far enough left? 

From CBS News to MeidasTouch, which was originally founded as a PAC to oppose Donald Trump: https://t.co/S6RpNtVfjh

We couldn’t possibly be less surprised. 

This is why nobody on the political right buys the “legacy media is unbiased” 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. https://t.co/q9CnQoBu0I

The truth has been obvious for a long time but now they’re being good enough to play it out in plain sight. 

In which Scott will also reveal himself to be as much a partisan as Lemon, Acosta, Chuck Todd, Terry Moran and Katie Couric… to name a few.

He’s joining the MeidasTouch – the most far-left “news organization” in the country that literally ran a protest during the Trump SOTU. https://t.co/8Jihr5Lzem

That sounds about right. 

Clearly working under that fair minded titan of journalistic ethics Ron Filipkowski is better then debasing himself by working under Bari Weiss

At least he is not pretending anymore

Right!?

I’m glad Scott landed on his feet but it’s going to be hard to go from straight news to a lib podcast. Big big adjustment. https://t.co/Q1Ri21tybb

Sarcasm overload!
