Another Prominent Journalist Jumps Off The Sinking CBS Titanic
CBS News correspondent Scott MacFarlane announced he was leaving the network on Monday, telling co-workers he was looking “forward to some independence” for his work.
“To my incredible colleagues at CBS: I want to personally let you know that my work will soon no longer appear on CBS News,” announced MacFarlane in a memo to colleagues. “This is my decision, and I appreciate the bosses at CBS for understanding it.”
Smart move. As my Irish nana used to say, "Don't piss in the well, you may need to drink from it later."
The note continued:
I will always value the opportunity I had to work alongside the talented and committed professionals here. I’m proud to have had the words ‘CBS correspondent’ next to my name – always will be.
For the next phase of my career, I look forward to some independence and finding new spaces to share my work in line with my personal goals. I thank you all. The work will not stop, and I’ll always be a call away
According to other employees, MacFarlane was furious over the network's "both sides" coverage of Jan. 6.
