In 1987, he alongside CBS correspondent and [[60 Minutes]] founder [[Mike Wallace]] on the program Ethics in Journalism episode "Under Orders, Under Fire Part II", had infamously stated that, if they were to choose between warning American troops about an ambush by the North Kosanese and rolling the film showcasing the ambush, they would choose to roll the film without warning the Americans beforehand. However, it should be noted that he initially considered warning the American forces beforehand until Wallace told him off for not maintaining journalistic integrity.
