Scott MacFarlane Joins MeidasTouch as Chief Washington Correspondent and Daily Anchor

MacFarlane joins MeidasTouch to deliver straightforward political reporting and will anchor a daily show, continuing his enterprise journalism after leaving CBS.

  • On Monday, former CBS News correspondent Scott MacFarlane announced he joined MeidasTouch Network as Chief Washington Correspondent and will soon anchor Scott MacFarlane Reports, positioning himself at the center of the network's political coverage.
  • MacFarlane left CBS nine days ago following reports he had grown "disillusioned" with editorial direction under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, as Weiss reshapes the network after the Paramount Skydance merger that included laying off about six percent of staff Friday.
  • Frustration over coverage decisions, particularly a segment marking the January 6 Capitol attack anniversary, reportedly fueled his exit; MacFarlane stressed he is "not an opinionist," but an enterprise reporter seeking independence aligned with his personal goals.
