'He's not a whistleblower because nothing else on that tape was illegal,' Watters said, 'and I think he'll never get hired ever, ever again.'
Fox News host Jesse Watters on Tuesday defended CNN and called the network's so-called"whistleblower", who made undercover recordings demonstrating the network's alleged anti-Trump bias, a"rat" and"disgruntled employee."
Conservative political activist James O'Keefe on Monday published the first part of what he has revealed will be a multi-part series. He claims the hidden camera clips, reportedly taken by"whistleblower" Cary Poarch—who claims he worked as a satellite uplink engineer at CNN's Washington bureau—captures biases against Trump and his allies at the network.
"I'm not blown away by the content of it," Watters said during a Tuesday discussion about the leak on Fox News,"I think that the president of CNN saying, 'We gotta follow impeachment, we gotta follow hard' is not breaking news. Or, that he said, 'Let's call out Lindsey Graham,' or that he said 'Fox News is destructive.' He's said that out in the open many, many times.
Fox News host Jesse Watters on Tuesday defended CNN by calling the network's so-called"whistleblower" a"rat" and"disgruntled employee.""The people that they did get access to seemed to me to be kind of low level players without any editorial power," the host continued,"and they said things like Zucker 'feels guilty aboutand now he's trying to get revenge' or that people in the elevator on election night were pretty bummed out at CNN.
Watters goes on to note that although he doesn't think CNN is"down the middle, straight news," he thinks"the guy is kinda a rat" and"more of a disgruntled employee."
