the other side of the coin is scott pelley. there was a touch of arrogance, that is my opinion, a up to of arrogance in his questioning, he seemed condescending, trying to use jay powell as a way to get at president trump who cbs clearly doesn't like. we isolated some of his questions. >> weighing h weakness in the u.s. economy. retail sales declined in december, fastest pace since 2009. are these things taken together suggesting that the system is blinking red? but the overarching question is, are we headed to recession? are the days of 4% growth over? stuart: now look, any journalist interviewing the powerful fed chair will probe for weakness in the economy. it is your job to expose problems. pelley certainly pushed very hard. virtually every question was about something going wrong but i got the impression what "60 minutes" really wanted was a negative headline on the president. do you still listen to him, asked pelley? can he fire you? watching that interview i thought you guys really want a powell-trump clash or something
