Honest Journalism? No Such Thing with Mainstream Media

Timothy Birdnow

Fired CBS News reporter Scott McFarlane has joined the leftist and Democrat-associated Meidas Touch network.

After going on and on about his not becoming an editorialist but staying an "enterprise journalist" whatever that means he says;

"It’s important when we underscore how significant this moment is, this moment of unique political toxicity and unique political danger.

"MeidasTouch and I have long shared this same philosophy — you don’t platform lies. You don’t platform conspiracy theories. And you don’t allow for the whitewashing of history.”

I fail to see the distinction. It sounds pretty much to me like he's going to give his own opinions, only he's not honest enough to admit that's what he's doing.

Of course this could be any member of the media. McFarlane is just one of many who lie about being "honest journalists".

There is no honesty in modern journalism. The only honest journalists are in the alternate media.

1 While watching Karoline doing the press briefing yesterday, I couldn't help but notice how truly butt ugly the majority of the press are. Is it DEI policy for the LSM to hire the ugliest people who apply for jobs with them?

2 Could very well be, Mike. Of course, compared to Karoline, any of them come off looking pretty bad.

3 I think so Mike.
Rush Limbaugh used to say politics was show biz for the ugly. He never got a load of the modern journalists...
