Jesse Watters: He is in love with '60 Minutes'

'The Five' panelists discuss the letting go of a CBS employee and what's to come.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

In a New York Times podcast interview, fired CBS correspondent Scott Pelley claimed to be utterly nonplussed at the idea that people thought CBS was biased, as editor-in-chief Bari Weiss suggested. He said he told her: "Do you have a poll? Is there market research? What are you talking about? We felt that she was making statements that she couldn’t back up and was coming into the news division with hardened preconceived notions that didn’t seem to be thought through."

Pelley is fooling no one outside the liberal-media bubble. To most people, it sounds like former CBS anchor Dan Rather claiming he’s never mangled a fact, like you couldn’t possibly find evidence that he had. But now, Rather’s out there claiming "the president and the corporate billionaires who curry his favor have eviscerated the best news program in the world."

That’s poppycock. We’ve long known "60 Minutes" as a prestigious news brand that’s used and abused by Democrats to promote their campaigns.

When I came up in the media-watchdog business, it started with how "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft helped the Clintons........
