NEW YORK (AP) — 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 prime-time television news program ever, has died. He was 93.
Wallace died Saturday night, CBS spokesman Kevin Tedesco said. On CBS' "Face the Nation," host Bob Schieffer said Wallace died at a care facility in New Haven, Conn., where he had lived in recent years.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


All the old, real "reporters" are going the way of the dodo; he made it to 93, that's pretty good, and he deserved a good long life. I'm sad he's gone.

Sad, he was of the few unbiased news people in the biz. He got under everyones skin no matter who you were.

:( At least he lived a long time and did a lot in his life.

I assume you're my pal until you let me know otherwise.
