Mike Wallace "60 Minutes"

Me too. It's still one of the best shows on TV.

Mike Wallace had a very interesting life. He'll be missed.

Wallace was a cut above most of them.

although, as a kid, I recall my dad railing about that "Asshole Mike Wallace" for one thing or another. I dont recall what Wallaces favorite skewering dolls were. One of them got my Dad really steamed.

Thomas Kinkade dies too yesterday, what a loss to the art world (irony button)

It's kinda lowbrow to speak snarkily of the dead

Too bad his son fell so far from the tree

Is is snarky to speak ill of the dead's offspring so soon?

Just asking. I have no idea who Mike Wallace's son is or was or whatever.

Mr. Wallace was a true scourge for every fraud, fake, cheat, liar and mountebank on the face of this blue-green earth.

I don't know. Good point maybe.

One of Mike's sons is dead, so I assume you refer to Chris Wallace

Wallace's confrontational style was evident during President Ronald Reagan's news conference in March 1987, when Reagan admitted to dealing arms for hostages. During his questioning, Wallace asked Reagan why he had denied that Israel was involved with the arms sales to Iran "when you knew that wasn't true."[2]

Wallace left NBC in 1989 for ABC. At ABC News, Wallace was the senior correspondent for Primetime Thursday and occasionally hosted Nightline. During the first Gulf War in 1991, he reported from Tel Aviv on the Iraqi Scud missiles attacks. At the time, the Israeli Government did not want to advertise where the Scuds landed, in order to prevent the Iraqis from making adjustments to their launchers. On one episode of Nightline, Wallace started describing the location in Tel Aviv where a Scud missile landed. Nightline host Ted Koppel cut him off, respecting Israeli national security needs.[citation needed]

After another 14 years at ABC, Wallace left in 2003 to join the Fox News Channel. He has remarked in the past that his work at Fox opened his eyes to what critics cite as bias in the mainstream press. Wallace has stated, "Fox News wouldn't exist if it weren't for this kind of stuff going on in the mainstream media. That's why people are fed up with that and want the antidote to it because they get it and they've gotten it for years - the so-called bias in the objective press."[3] Wallace currently hosts Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, and is an occasional guest on the Howie Carr show on Boston's WRKO.

I remember there was some controversy in the past as he was said to have used the N word. But he did apologize and was generally liked by both liberals and conservatives.
