That’s why Brit Hume filled in for the Sunday show.

94 is a heck of run. RIP, Mr. Wallace.

“If you saw that American Soldiers were walking into an ambush, would you warn them, Mr. Wallace?”

“No.”

60 Minutes was the premier news magazine, back in the day when we had journalists, not propagandists.

One of my favorite Wallace interviews was with a convicted car thief who had been hired to advise manufacturers on ways to improve security systems for vehicles. These companies came up with their best security systems, but time and again the thief was still able to break into the cars, pop the ignitions and drive odd with little difficulty.

So Wallace asked the convict, “what can I do to prevent you from stealing my car?” The thief replied. “don’t buy one.”

Rest in peace, Mr. Wallace.

propagandist who set a car on fire to fake a story and smeared a US Armey General, and helped cause millions of deaths in Viet Nam with his lies

RIP just the same.

Mike Wallace, a pioneer of American broadcasting who confronted leaders and liars for the newsmagazine “60 Minutes” for four decades, has died,

HA! As long as those lying leaders had an "R" next to their names.

Talk about putting lipstick on a pig.

Oh. Sorry. Too soon to go insulting pigs?

My father served 1st Batt/7th Marines in Vietnam and was wounded badly near Chu Li, Operation Starlight.

Mike Wallace is dead.

Yeah, so's my father.

Everybody dies, but not everybody lives a life of honor, duty and fidelity to country.

It's the same when any of these toads die. It's like I'm driving by and see a dead animal on the side of the road. I say, " wow, that's too bad"....then I just drive on. This is EXACTLY like that as a matter of fact.

just driving off without even a millisecond of thought. Happy Easter, he is risen. Spread the GOOD word.

My condolences to the Wallace family and especially for Chris Wallace for losing his father.

Cry me a river. I see some of the comments remember Wallace for what he was.

Mike Wallace, ’60 Minutes’ Pioneer

Title as shown probably (and perhaps accurately) reflects the attitude of many towards the journalist.

Nonetheless, he has been commended into the Lord's hands now...

It's possible Wallace had the longest run in the history of television, and he was Hispanic. Before he became a news reader and performer, he actually did some investigative journalism, taking point for the Left internal party revolt against Lyndon Johnson and then against Richard Nixon.

He lost his edge when the nation gradually returned to a two party system, between 1980 and 1994.

He was a left-wing Democrat, and defined "normalcy" with that worldview.

Just another dead Communist claiming to be a journalist.

MW: “You advocate a kind of Ayn Rand selfishness...why do you rebel...?”
AR: “...Man must work for others—that is the role of a sacrificial object. I say that man shouldn’t give up
himself for the happiness of others.”
MW: “What’s wrong with loving your fellow man? Why is this
kind of love, in your mind, immoral? Isn’t the essence of love that it is above self-interest?”

Mike Wallace dies at 93; here he is back in ‘59 with Ayn Rand http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ukJiBZ8_4k
