Sarah Safer, daughter of the late CBS journalist Morley Safer, has encouraged CBS staff to express their concerns regarding the network's leadership. She stated that her father would have supported such actions, particularly in light of recent changes under CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss. Following the firing of prominent correspondent Scott Pelley, who voiced objections to Weiss's direction for the network, Sarah Safer reflected on her father's history of challenging leadership without facing repercussions. She recalled that he often criticized CBS executives and warned against changes that could compromise journalistic integrity. Pelley has since claimed that Weiss pressured him to include biased reporting in his work. CBS News representatives did not respond to requests for comment.
