JON SCOTT, HOST OF "FOX NEWS WATCH"(voice-over): On "Fox News Watch," the Supreme Court surprise decision to uphold the Obama-care mandate made big news last week. This week, the bigger news was the swing vote cast by Justice Roberts, and why he did it. Did the liberal media sway his vote?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: A lot of folks lost their jobs, and a lot of folks retrained and are back.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

SCOTT: Mr. Obama hits the road in his Canadian-made tour buses, pushing his plan for America, and doing all he can to put his rival, Mitt Romney, in a negative light. Are the liberal media helping him do just that?

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GOV. CHRIS CHRISTIE, R-N.J.: Are you stupid?

(END VIDEO CLIP)

SCOTT: New Jersey Governor Chris Christie showing no love to a reporter asking the wrong questions. So how did the media react to him?

They made big news with their marriage and they're making bigger news with their breakup. What is it about these two that have the Hollywood press in a tizzy?

And Herman Cain launches CainTV.

HERMAN CAIN, (R), FORMER GODFATHER'S PIZZA CEO & FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Do they really think we're that stupid.

(on camera): This is going to be fun.

On the panel this week, writer and Fox News contributor, Judy Miller; syndicated columnist, Cal Thomas; Jim Pinkerton, contributing editor, American Conservative magazine; and host of "The Alan Colmes Radio Show," Alan Colmes.

I'm Jon Scott. "Fox News Watch" is on right now.

SCOTT PELLEY, ANCHOR, "CBS EVENING NEWS": Now, we have some rare insight this evening into how the Supreme Court reached its decision to uphold President Obama's health care law. It turns out the ruling almost went the other way.

JAN CRAWFORD, CBS NEWS CHIEF LEGAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, Scott, it was a shift that no one would have expected. Chief Justice John Roberts, who was appointed by President George W. Bush to lead this court in a more conservative direction, initially, was poised to strike down the key part of the health care law. But then, he changed his mind and the outcome of this entire case.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

SCOTT: CBS News, and its legal correspondent, Jan Crawford, breaking the story earlier this week that Chief Justice John Roberts originally decided with conservatives about the Obama-care mandate. And while writing the decision, changed his mind. The rest, as they say, is history.

Jim, the question is, how did CBS get that info and was it news for coverage of the court going forward?

JIM PINKERTON, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR, AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE MAGAZINE: Jan is a very good reporter, so we assume that she got it from another justice. She had a lot of detail about Anthony Kennedy, you know, apparently spending a month trying to get Roberts on this decision. It opens up a whole new place for leaks and -- to come from and information that wants to be free, including the court now.

SCOTT: It does seem strange. Judy, the Supreme Court has been sort of a bastion of secrecy up until now.

JUDY MILLER, WRITER & FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: It has been. And you could see up that in reporting in the lead up to this decision, where just about everybody, including Jeffrey Toobin, who is much respected and admired, got it wrong. That actually speaks well for the court. It's one of the few places where you can keep a secret, or at least, Jim, could keep a secret, until this reporter, this very enterprising and excellent Jan Crawford reporter, gave us some genuine news and insight into the court.

SCOTT: Alan, I'm certain that, as the liberal, you are pleased with the ruling.

ALAN COLMES, HOST, "THE ALAN COLMES SHOW": You don't need me here. You know what I'll say.

(LAUGHTER)

SCOTT: What about the fact -- I mean, didn't the coverage persuade the chief justice to change his mind? And, if so --

(CROSSTALK)

COLMES: -- the line. He must have done it because he wanted to please the liberal media or please the White House or please the establishment. If he did change his mind at the last minute, much like -- and Justice Kennedy did in the Casey versus Pennsylvania (ph) abortion ruling a number of years ago, 1992, we don't know why he did it. Until he decides to speak up about it, we're not going to know. But the right wing media has decided it must have been a nefarious reason that --

(CROSSTALK)

SCOTT: Well, but, Cal, there were a bunch of articles -- there were a bunch of articles warning about the damage to the court if this became another 5-4 decision with Roberts in the majority.

CAL THOMAS, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: Certain people calculated, base on John Roberts' background, and his adhering to the Constitution, an image of the court that he could be persuaded. That's why you have Patrick Leahy, Senator from Vermont, making an unprecedented speech on the Senate floor about what the court ought to do. This was a major campaign. the most interesting, I though, insight into this, came from Paul Rothstein, professor of law and John Roberts' teacher at Georgetown University Law School, who got on WTOP Radio in Washington and talked about everything influencing Roberts except the Constitution. He wanted to seem to be fair. He didn't want being characterized as being uncaring or unresponsive to people without health care. He had good health care. He was in business for a while. I mean, it had nothing to do with the Constitution --

(CROSSTALK)

COLMES: -- we're impugning his integrity. Yet, the media did little coverage of -- for example, only the L.A. Times covered the two justices, Scalia and Thomas, were feted at a dinner sponsored by the law firm that argued against the health care law. The media hardly ever covered that. All we hear is impugning Roberts --

(CROSSTALK)

THOMAS: No --
