Heffner: You don’t think that the atmosphere, the culture in which…. Hewitt: …so that…you can’t trust them to be a watchdog. If I have to trust somebody, I’d trust us. Be Proactive. Heffner: Who is the custodian, where are the custodians when it comes to us…when it comes to this beady red eye? Heffner: So that what you’re suggesting now…if you’re going to go into re-regulation…stop me if I’m wrong…you’ve got to include cable…, Heffner: …and then if you regulate once again, and Clinton turns out to be what you believe he will be, and hope he will be, then his man at the FCC, or whatever we’re going to call it…he can really start regulating again. You have electronics that nobody even dreamed of…when I came to television, it was black and white…there was no teleprompter, there was no videotape, there were no satellites. You, you…you know, you work for these guys you better put some bread on the table. Hewitt was portrayed in the film by Philip Baker Hall. And they went about another five miles down the road and he said, “I saw your Christmas in Korea documentary. Is that, is that a fair…. Never happened. Heffner: But they had already offered that to him? Heffner: Okay, but let’s take this “bread on the table”…, Heffner: Don, I don’t understand what you’re saying, seriously, because I, I have the sense, either I’m not hearing…or you may be somewhat contradicting yourself. Hewitt was a primary figure in the televising of a 1996 60 Minutes documentary on the tobacco-industry scandal involving the tobacco company Brown & Williamson, in which the program reported the allegations of whistleblower Jeffrey Wigand. . Heffner: Okay. I was there at the time, and it hurt me so because…. I think so.
He did more harm to this country with his S&L connections than Noriega ever did with his drug connections. I think the worst scandal of my lifetime was not Watergate, it was not Iran-contra, and it was not Iraq-gate, it wasn’t even Teapot Dome…it was the Gulf of Tonkin.
You talk…the real watchdogs then were Moss and Fulbright, who…and if you go back and you read the cable traffic, you find…we probably were never attacked that night in the Gulf of Tonkin…we were looking for an excuse to bomb North Vietnam, and a lot of Americans have been screwed up ever since. Because I’ve put a lot of bread on the table. I mean the…you know, Bush kept, you know, he kept saying, you know, “this is a matter of trust” and the…more people trusted Bozo than trusted bush. Ed Murrow decided that maybe the atmosphere in which grew up at CBS had changed…he was mostly feuding with Frank Stanton, he was sore as hell about Stanton complaining about this “Person to Person” shows, and Ed left. Died: August 19, 2009 (aged 86) Bridgehampton, New York, United States.
Heffner: …of what Murrow and Friendly had done. I mean if, if half the members of Congress weren’t beholden to lobbies and PACs…I mean we say this country’s never been invaded. They get to the plane, and they’re shaking hands at the bottom of the plane, Murrow goes up the steps, he gets to the top and Dayan yells at him, “Murrow…”. Don Hewitt 60 Minutes, CBS 524 West 57th Street New York, NY 10019 Don Hewitt: In my letter to Mike Wallace of 04-Jul-2002 titled Mike Wallace's Dark Secret, you will find my critique of your 02-Feb-1997 and 20-Jul-1997 broadcasts of the 60 Minutes story, Canada's Dark Secret. THE OPEN MINDHost: Richard D. HeffnerGuests: Don HewittTitle: ”60 Minutes with Don Hewitt” Part IIVTR: 11/13/92. Hewitt: Yeah. Hewitt: (Laughter) Try…right…rise above. So let’s go on now to the man who has always made possible these golden, often infuriating 60 minutes. Paley…I…Paley’s pride and joy was Ed Murrow. Heffner: Okay. [2] Under Hewitt's leadership, 60 Minutes was the only news program ever rated the nation's top-ranked television program, an achievement it accomplished five times. And, and, and, and he, and he did some things that he shouldn’t have done. [5] His father was a Jewish immigrant from Russia, and his mother's family was of German Jewish descent. And if you care to share your thoughts about today’s program, please write to THE OPEN MIND, P.O.
We should have sent troops to California to capture Alan Cranston and bring him back to Washington and try him. [1] He joined the United States Merchant Marine Academy in 1943. You know, we went…we sent troops to Panama…to kidnap Manuel Noriega and bring him back and try him. You know I know why “See It Now” went off the air, the first time. Essentially we’ve been…believed in a government of laws, not of man. Hewitt: No, I would think that if CBS is more interested in money, the $60, $0 million dollar profit we make every year, then they are in the fact that we’ve won the Columbia DuPont Gold Baton and the University of Missouri Journalism Award and last week, the Walter Cronkite Journalism School in Arizona and Southern California, and the Lowell Thomas’ Award…I, I don’t think that…that means a lot to me, I’m not sure it means much to them. I think “fairness” is a state of mind. It comes down…well, how do you think we elect new Presidents?
You know why? I, I don’t think I would trust many people to do that. Lyndon Johnson pulled a “fast one” on this country, and got us to go to war in Vietnam which maybe came as close as anything ever happened to being the undoing of this country.
