 Two Veteran Journalists Critical Of Today 's Media Coverage : AZ IMC
Morley Safer and Osborn Elliott, two doyens of the news business, met at the community center Sunday night for a conversation in which they questioned why reporters cling to a false ideal of objectivity that prevents them from being critical and skeptical purveyors of the news.
Safer, an editor and correspondent for “60 Minutes” for three decades, perceived that reporters had soaked up the mood of cautiousness and deference to the White House that he said infected Congress in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
While Safer had reservations about “embedding” correspondents in military units, a practice new to the Iraq war that he said restricts a reporter's perspective, he conceded that there are few other ways to travel somewhat safely in a country teeming with violence.

 Jews & Ukrainian: Analysis of the CBS 60 Minutes Program The Ugly Face of Freedom, October 23, 1994
Safer then starts the propaganda: "Ukraine is hardly a stable unified entity" and then he suggests that the country is facing imminent disintegration, a view propagated by an obvious hostile power.
Safer says that "Thousands of Ukrainians joined the SS and marched off to fight for Nazism." This is said simultaneously with marching men who four times in the program shout "Slava natsiyi!" (Glory to the nation!).
Safer mentions "traditional anti-Semitism in the (sic!) Ukraine" which is as useful and accurate a term as is "traditional anti-Semitism in America." It is nonsense in both cases.

Morley Safer, the intrepid reporter for the segment, aptly derided the art world's impenetrable Artspeak, and deprecated the status-seeking collectors of such work by invoking the old adage "There's a sucker born every minute."
In one scene, Murphy, facing off against art "experts" on a PBS talk show (a scene modeled on Morley Safer's appearance on the "Charlie Rose" show), ridiculed a work entitled "Commode-ity," which was nothing more than an actual toilet affixed to a wall.
Safer lost the debate, not because the purported experts' arguments made any sense but because he, despite the best of intentions, had no consistent argument at all.

The year is 2001 and CBS News is still unabashedly proud of Morley Safer’s report from Vietnam in 1965.
The commentary by Morley Safer did not make reference to the action in Cam Ne 4 in July, in which several marines had been killed and wounded, nor did Safer make mention of the existence of vast numbers of trenches, mines, booby traps and the hostile fire emanating from the village.
If not enough damage was done by Safer’s original story viewed by millions on the original broadcast by CBS news in 1965, it is continuing to be done by the report being placed in the set of videotapes in the series The Vietnam War with Walter Cronkite which was produced in 1986.

The company that produces them, WJMK in Boca Raton, Florida, calls them "news breaks." And with a name like the "American Medical Review" and a host like Morley Safer, the programs could easily be mistaken for news advisories from the American Medical Association or a scientific journal.
A CBS spokesman told The New York Times this week that Safer had realized after beginning to work for WJMK that the job was not consistent with the network's standards, but that the company had continued to produce new videos using his taped introduction.
