Time Capsule: Mike Wallace hammers Margaret Sanger in 1957 interview
LifeSiteNews.com ^ | December 3, 2010 | Matthew Cullinan Hoffman

In 1957, an aging Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood and the international birth control movement, agreed to an interview with CBS News’ Mike Wallace. In stark contrast with the sympathetic reception Sanger could expect to receive today in a network television interview, Wallace hammered Sanger with difficult questions and caught her in contradictions, while Sanger squirmed, fidgeted, and denied statements she had made only a week earlier in pre-interview discussions with CBS staff.

I’m Mike Wallace, the cigarette is Phillip Morris.

Two killers talking to each other.

In ‘57 Planned Parenthood/Sanger was on the other side of the cultural divide. Post JFK...Wallace almost never interviewed a liberal that he did not play footsy with.

The main reason this guy survived as long as he did...was his ability to discern where the cultural divide was...and which way was it moving.

Recently, Wallace only made love to liberals, while he castigated conservatives. 1957 was a long time ago.

This country was very different back in 1957.

Mike Wallace is one of the people who helped us change into what we are today.

Curse you, Mike Wallace.

That’s exactly right.

I’ll say nothing good of the man.

Good riddence in my opinion.

Mike and his son Chris have both been in different places, different times asking different questions of different people.

Mike Wallace started out in the 1930’s as a radio announcer in Detroit, later Washington DC.

In the 1950’s his late night “Nightbeat” interview series ran on Channel 5 in New York. Wallace gave a late news roundup and interviewed a guest.

ABC-TV liked the show and brought Mike Wallace to the network with the “Mike Wallace Interview” series on weekends.

It was in the early 1960’s that Wallace made it to CBS and eventually found his way to producer Don Hewitt’s creation called “60 Minutes” where the Mike Wallace ambush interview became the stuff of legend.

There isn’t any love loss for this traitor in my home. I hope he has a special reserved room in hell now.

Same here. My Dad hated that man. I was too young to understand but I caught on pretty quick.

There is nothing more than a US Journalist that would betray our own soldiers for a story. And, in this day and age, whenever one of them bites the bullet in a war zone, they are cannonized and overly mourned.

As far as I’m concerned, they’re just collateral damage who got the wrong end of that coveted Pullitzer Stick...

Ms Sanger advocated abortion for black women. The emergingly powerful abortion industry could not have its goldming (liberal and financial) potentially being assaulted
in the media through the use of race empathy. They just could not have it. Ergo, Mike Wallace steps in and propels the future PP Association into a billion dollar industry responsible for dozens of millions of murders.

I saw a “journalist” from England get the barrel of an M-16 shoved into his belly and told to get the hell out of our faces. We hated the bastards whenever we encountered them.

It would seem that way, although I don’t know all the details of their lives.

For a lot of folks there may be no deeply held convictions, just the need for a paycheck being the most important thing.

God help me not to be in such a mindset.

Dan Rather was another in country journopuke that never missed a chance to promulgate US failure there.
