I wasn't there.

But that is what I've been told by my colleagues who were there, and they were shocked.

That was sort of her hello to the staff at 60 Minutes.

Uh-oh.

She, I am told, said something to the effect of, why do you think the country thinks you're biased?

But she didn't offer any kind of a metric.

You know, what's your metric?

Why do you think so?

Do you have a poll?

Is there market research?

What are you talking about?

Because we certainly didn't believe that.

And we just felt that she was making statements that perhaps she couldn't back up and was coming into the news division with hardened, preconceived notions that didn't seem to be thought through.

As I recall, that's February, and my team and I are doing a story about the protests in Minneapolis against the ice crackdown there.

We've interviewed Senator Rand Paul, Republican, because he's going to hold hearings into this.

And the fact that a Republican was going to do that was quite newsworthy.

So we interviewed Senator Paul.

and then built out a story about what had happened.

The killing of Renee Goode, the killing of Alex Preti, the protests.

I felt it was very important to identify that the protesters themselves were being very aggressive.
