A clip lasting a bit over two minutes of Hillary Clinton repeatedly dodging questions about the leaked DNC emails never made it on Sunday’s “60 Minutes” interview with the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

Hmm, another case of media bias, or did the “60 Minutes” editors just temporarily misplace them?

Throughout that segment, Clinton denied that she had any knowledge that the Democratic National Committee was working furiously behind the scenes to propel her as the party’s standard-bearer while shutting Sen. Bernie Sanders out.

HRC on #DNCleak in @60Minutes clip that didn’t air: “Don’t know anything about these emails. I haven’t followed it” https://t.co/XFzeZI02dH

That sounds suspiciously like excuses she’d used before — on Benghazi, her own email scandal — she didn’t know.

It’s also familiar to that old saw that President Obama uses — I never knew a thing until I saw it on the news, just like you, with one difference: Clinton claimed she didn’t even see it on the news.

That particular clip never made it to the “60 Minutes” audience. One had to look for it on the CBS News website online, assuming one even knew the segment existed. People found that in and of itself strange given the media play of the leaked emails.

Clinton discussing DNC email leak, the biggest story in politics, wasn’t good enough for 60 Minutes to air. https://t.co/xXoUu5wnWe

The biggest news of the interview gets left on the cutting room floor? Really? https://t.co/9GZkhNInPX

Then again, maybe it wasn’t so strange that the segment was excluded.

@DavidRutz @jschau11 @MichaelRWarren David Rhodes is Prez of CBS News. Brother Ben is WH Security Advisor. What do you expect from CBS?

@stephenfhayes @weeklystandard @MichaelRWarren In the tank – what do you expect ? @60Minutes

@stephenfhayes Bill had a meeting with the CBS producer on a runway somewhere in Arizona and they decided not to air it.

@stephenfhayes @guypbenson @weeklystandard @MichaelRWarren It’s almost as if @60Minutes had a vested interest in who wins the election…

On the other hand:

@stephenfhayes @SeanParnellUSA @weeklystandard @MichaelRWarren Had it been the GOP, that’s all the interview would have been about.

@stephenfhayes @weeklystandard @MichaelRWarren Mitt Romney suffered more scrutiny over his dog on the roof of his car.

Finally, there was this:

@stephenfhayes @BeladonnaRogers @weeklystandard @MichaelRWarren When is 60 Minutes going to hire Brian Williams? #NoLongerWatch

CBS News and Brian Williams both deserved that one.
