Restore the Norms: A chat with Scott MacFarlane
About this episode
Talking with Scott MacFarlane was a great way to kick off the new week, even if it had to start in the 6:00 a.m. hour in Montana because of seeding on the Tester farm.
Scott (NOT SETH) joined the independent media space earlier this year after leaving his correspondent role at CBS News.
We talked extensively about his indefatigable reporting on January 6 defendants, why traditional journalism rules don’t apply today, and how to restore the norms. Plus, we discuss the regularity in which legacy media platforms misinformation, what he tells his kids about the future of politics in the U.S., and his favorite congressional cafeteria food. And no, he’s not related to Seth MacFarlane.
Don’t miss the seeding progress update at the end!
