Mike Wallace dies.

[kjun12]

Those of us from the USA will remember Mike Wallace of CBS news as the man of 60 Minutes. He has died at 93. I always enjoyed his style as an aggressive reporter.

[Khor tose]

He will be missed. As a Vietnam Vet I strongly supported his case against Westmoreland's law suit. I know for a fact that Westmoreland new about the Tet Offensive long before it occurred. Glad he won that one.

Good riddance!
He was little more than a high priest of Yellow Journalism in America.

Good riddance!

Good riddance? What an absolutely vulgar thing to say when someone dies! Although I hope that no one says that at your death bed, I am sure someone will be just as vulgar. :bootyshake:

springco, even if you hated him that is a very rude thing to say.

Good riddance!

If you don't understand the difference then I don't think anyone can explain it for you.

Mike Wallace was a scandalmonger. He made a career of being aggressively vulgar. Vulgarity and the sensationalism that surrounded it were his stock-in-trade. The depths to which journalism has sunk over the last forty years can be attributed in no small part to people exactly like him and for whom he was a progenitor.

If you don't understand the difference then I don't think anyone can explain it for you.arent they all human beings like us like that journalist man woman young old either we can say the same thing for everyone or we are as bad as those homophobes who think we are somehow inferior and can say good things about themselves and bad things about us because they know the difference between people.

I think it is very bad taste to talk bad about somebody who has just died (whatever ill feelings one might have had against the deceased )
