His usual response was: \u2018What are they going to do? Fire me?\u2019 This week we learned that under CBS\u2019s current regime, the answer would be yes,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Safer joined <i>60 Minutes <\/i>in 1970 as a full-time correspondent during its third season and remained with the show until he announced his retirement in May 2016. Throughout his tenure, he reported a record 919 stories.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Safer recalled organizing some of his things after he died in 2016, in which she said she found \u201ccopies of letters that if written today would likely threaten his job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018You have ruined this company,\u2019 he wrote to Larry Tisch in 1990, a couple of years after Tisch famously slashed the news division\u2019s budget and fired hundreds of staffers in the name of cost-cutting,\u201d she recalled. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=827\">How Trump\u2019s \u2018Stupid\u2019 Move Backfired on Him<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFifteen years later, he warned the CEO of CBS that the changes being brought to the newsroom \u2018suggest[s] some form of designer-news, or happy-talk that would by its very nature drive out the kind of information the country needs to have at one of the most dangerous periods in its history,\u2019\u201d she remembered. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike Pelley, he would have called out the bullies who are decimating the broadcast today,\u201d she wrote, as she encouraged current staff to speak out against network leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Since being fired, Pelley has said Weiss pushed him to include \u201cfalsehoods and bias\u201d in his reporting. He also said her behavior is \u201ccold and callous and beneath the dignity of CBS News.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Representatives for CBS News did not immediately respond to the Daily Beast\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Pelley accused CBS News of attempting to \u201ccurry favor with the Trump administration\u201d, especially as its owner, Trump-friendly billionaire David Ellison, seeks regulatory approval for an $81 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. <\/p>\n<p>In her piece, Sarah Safer recalled a story in which then-President Lyndon B. Johnson suggested that her father was a traitor and a communist, and called upon then CBS News leader Frank Stanton to fire him. But she noted that in this case, CBS did not bend the knee. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cStanton called his bluff, but under our current leadership, both in Washington and at CBS, it\u2019s not hard to imagine that if this happened today, my father\u2019s green card would be revoked and his career at CBS would be finished,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThat is, if the story even made it on air.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=825\">\u2018Dark Horse\u2019 Dem First to Advance in Scramble for Newsom\u2019s Seat<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The daughter of 60 Minutes legend Morley Safer says her father would want CBS staff to speak out against the current leadership.
