Morley Safer of 60 Minutes was my father. He would be disgusted by what Bari Weiss is doing to CBS Is doing to CBS | Sarah Safer

My father joined the program when I was eight months old and retired 46 years later. He would be encouraging journalists at CBS to speak out

The end of the 60 Minutes broadcast as we know it has sickened millions of longtime viewers, colleagues, and all of us who are offended and threatened by our current administration and its cronies' assaults on the first amendment. The news of Scott Pelley's firing hits particularly hard. He spoke of risking my life and the happiness of my family because of my devotion to the broadcast".

Having literally grown up with that broadcast - my father, Morley Safer, joined the program when I was eight months old and retired 46 years later - I am acutely aware of the costs of that devotion. 60 Minutes, particularly in its early days, demanded commitments of time and travel that were keenly felt at home.
