What are you thinking with this cryptic click bait.

Explain something more about whatever it is you are trying to say.

It is a 44 minute long video of a CBS News Report from 1967 about homosexuality.

Mike Wallace begins by saying that CBS did a poll and found that Americans consider homosexuality to be "more harmful to society than adultery, abortion or prostitution".

Mike Parks is a well known Black Conservative commentator.

Back then ( I think it was in ‘67, but it could have been early ‘68), the CBS late night entry on TV (3 networks and that's all, remember! We're not talking about PBS, either!) was a show called PM East/PM West. The aforementioned Mike Wallace anchored the PM West segment.

One night they had Burt Lancaster on as a guest.

From the get-go, Wallace starts asking his guest some very pointed personal questions, and you can see Lancaster getting agitated very quickly.

After a brief time, Lancaster blurts out, “You didn't say you were going to ask these questions before we came on!”

Wallace just kind of looked him with a blank stare and shrugged.

At that point, Lancaster got up and walked out.

There was little to distinguish the show other than that exchange, and as I recall, PM East/PM West had a pretty short run.

It did, however, establish Wallace as a fist class a-hole, and he eventually found fame and glory on “60 Minutes”, where he relished asking unsuspecting victims who posed as guests on the show, “So, when was the last time you beat your wife?”
