CBS News justice correspondent Scott MacFarlane announced his departure on March 9, 2026, becoming the latest in a cascade of high-profile exits from the network following the Paramount-Skydance merger and the installation of Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief. His exit — driven in part by frustration over diminished coverage of the January 6 Capitol riot's legal aftermath — reflects a broader transformation at CBS News that has seen mass layoffs, spiked investigations, and an editorial realignment that departing journalists describe as ideologically motivated.
