I suppose you have to respect those who got to the mountaintop but like Bill Paley, Henry Luce, the Sulzbergers, the Grahams et al Hewitt let his absolute media power corrupt him absolutely and 60 Minutes turned into the perennial (and painful) post-football hangover featuring the bad old GOP, jailed filth who still maintained their innocence, and general cheerleading for commies large and small throughout the world.

Mike Wallace loved to apply the thumbscrews to corporate types but somehow legislators and lobbyists avoided the treatment for the most part.

I concur. And I vaguely remember the 60 Minutes interview with the Clintons, before Slick was elected. Some say it turned the tide and helped cement the election victory. Hewitt purposely portrayed the dastardly duo in a much more positive light than reality ever called for. Maybe some other freepers would remember the details.
