Mike Wallace has died...

[lspencer534]

Mike Wallace, the legendary CBS News broadcaster, interviewer and "60 Minutes" icon, has died, the network said Sunday. He was 93.

Wallace, whose "probing, brazen style made his name synonymous with the tough interview -- a style he practically invented for television more than half a century ago" died "peacefully" on Saturday night, surrounded by family in New Canaan, Conn., CBS said.

"It is with tremendous sadness that we mark the passing of Mike Wallace," Les Moonves, CBS Corp. president and CEO, said in a statement. "His extraordinary contribution as a broadcaster is immeasurable and he has been a force within the television industry throughout its existence. His loss will be felt by all of us at CBS."

It's sad to see someone pass that you've recognized for many - many years; but the "tough interviews" only came when interviewing someone on the opposite side of his politics.

I always thought of him as a commie as a result of that slant of his....

Oh, I know. Just like Sam Donaldson. But I thought he deserved mentioning because he's been around a long time, and everybody knew who he was.

Thomas Kincade and Wallace. I didn't read about Rooney. I guess that is three.

Yeah, Rooney passed away just a few days after his last 60 Minutes show. I guess his work was his life...which is kinda odd because he professed he didn't enjoy the attention his fans gave him. He said he just wanted to be left alone; he hated people bothering him for an autograph. He was at D-Day, BTW.

Andy Rooney landed on Normandy D-Day Plus 4 days.

For Mike :sadangel::sadangel:

I did respect his constant attacks on those taking advantage of others but I disliked the bend in 60 minute took in the 90's.
