He's a freelancer who boasts on his still active Twitter account that he works for CBS, Yahoo, etc. Last Dec. he tweeted three words that made him happy were "Trump dies peacefully". CBS took no action. After last night, CBS and the Boston owned-and-operated station emphasized he didn't work for them...links to his articles were still appearing on the CBS Boston site till their tech person got to it and now if you try them...
