Former CNN host Soledad O'Brien lamented over the weekend that 2017 had started out badly for restoring trust in journalism.
In a New Year's Day tweet, O'Brien pointed to "catfights" between MSNBC host Joe Scarborough other members of the media who said he "partied" at President-elect Donald Trump's New Year's Eve bash. Scarborough lashed out, claiming that he was at the event to negotiate an interview with the president-elect, and that he "did not attend the party, and left before any 'partying' began."
Photos, however, show Scarborough mingling with Trump as other guests enjoy champagne.
In a follow-up tweet, O'Brien called out Don Lemon, a former CNN colleague who spent New Year's Eve doing tequila shots on the air.
"A drunk anchorman got his ear pierced live on tv last night," she wrote. "It's a very low bar for credibility."
