President Lyndon Baines Johnson demanded Safer’s sacking for the report that exposed the truth about the war in Vietnam. “Your boys shat on the American flag,” LBJ fumed to CBS President Frank Stanton, adding that this obviously unpatriotic scoundrel was probably a Communist. Drawing on CBS News lore, 60 Minutes executive producer Jeff Fager recalled in an interview with The Daily Beast that when LBJ was informed that Safer was not a Commie, but simply a Canadian, the Leader of the Free World replied, “I knew there was something about him.” Source: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/05/13/cbs-celebrates-morley-safer-s-60-minutes-of-fame.html"There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

CBS had a group of really great journalists in those early days of Television. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
