Screencap of Twitter/X video.The firing of Scott Pelley by ’60 Minutes’ has angered all of the right people and exposed the fact that the liberal elites in our media have no idea how many people in America no longer trust them.Jake Tapper of CNN invited Scott MacFarlane onto his show, a journalist who left CBS News for a far left outlet called Meidas News, along with Terry Moran, who was fired by ABC News over an indefensible anti-Trump tweet, to react to the Pelley news.MacFarlane showed that these people are utterly clueless about their situation.Transcript via Curtis Houck of NewsBusters:Former CBS correspondent-turned-MeidasTouch pundit Scott MacFarlane scoffs at the notion found in polls Americans don’t trust the media…“I would venture the bold prediction that, if Americans were surveyed about the trustworthiness of 60 Minutes, it may have more support and more trust, more credibility with Americans than the general milquetoast term “media.” What is the media at this point that they’re being polled on? Are they talking about specific programs, specific sources of information? Are they talking about the garbage on the internet, the garbage on talk radio? Are they talking about the actual verified, bonafide source sources of journalism? The ones who actually have credibility and empirical evidence to back up their reporting. This all feels to me like apples and oranges.”Watch below, as MacFarlane literally looks down his nose as he talks about this:Former CBS correspondent-turned-MeidasTouch pundit Scott MacFarlane scoffs at the notion found in polls Americans don’t trust the media…“I would venture the bold prediction that, if Americans were surveyed about the trustworthiness of 60 Minutes, it may have more support and… pic.twitter.com/PWaLEOKTia— Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 3, 2026 Terry Moran’s response was just as bad:“There is no journalism enterprise in the Western Hemisphere that has the cultural impact, the political impact, the stature that 60 Minutes does. So, the notion that they’re trying to fix it, either they’re messing it up or something else is going on and the straightest line, the shortest distance between two points is straight line. I mean, last year Bill Owens, a long time executive producer of 60 Minutes, resigned, saying that management was trying to interfere with political content. Anderson Cooper left quietly to be with his family, which is what you say when you don’t want to say what you want to say. They fired Cecilia Vega and Sharon Alfonso, two fearless, bold journalists, troublemakers. I mean, in a good way, good trouble, right, as John Lewis used to say. And now, here’s Scott Pelley saying, political influence has done this. There’s one reason this is happening, which is that the management at CBS wants to curry favor with Trump because the new owner of CBS wants his business interest to come out correctly by his lights under the Trump administration.”Watch:INSANE: Former ABC correspondent Terry Moran blasts CBS for firing Scott Pelley and the “fearless, bold,” “troublemakers” Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega from ‘60 Minutes’, a show that has no rival “in the Western Hemisphere that has the cultural impact, the political impact,… pic.twitter.com/cXj7nDOfF0— Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) June 3, 2026 They’re completely clueless and out of touch.
