a real newsman, has seen and lived some history! RIP
CBS newsman Mike Wallace, the dogged, merciless reporter and interviewer who took on politicians, celebrities and other public figures in a 60-year career highlighted by the on-air confrontations that helped make "60 Minutes" the most successful primetime television news program ever, has died. He was 93.
Wallace died Saturday night, CBS spokesman Kevin Tedesco said.

Andy Rooney, Mike Wallace....Can Dan Rather be far behind?
Oh wow. I'm sorry to read that, I thought he was an awesome journalist & enjoyed the hell out of him on 60 Minutes. I really like watching interviews and his were always outstanding.
93 is pretty old. That's long enough to live.
why did he have to die like that?
so they meet again.

Poignant photo. I grew up watching them & I think my standard for what I consider to be a good interview was probably set by him and his colleagues.

Wallace and Rather - you can judge the quality of their work by the fear they struck in the hearts of the SOBs they interviewed.

Most of the people they destroyed were better men than they were (are). Sure he practiced on low lifes but he didn't stop there.
Wallace reflected the deterioration in the quality of the media while Rather led it.
