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.

Could you imagine coming back to your own country and admitting you could have stopped some of your own troops from being killed, but you did nothing because journalists are above petty things like patriotism and love of country? I would have absolved any parent of one of the slain troops for strangling Wallace or Jennings if they had done so.
The network owners were even worse because ,after those remarks, the two men were kept on the payroll when they should have been fired.
Which set of Saudi sheiks along with Soros would that be?
Welcome Home!
That’s the reason I don’t believe in this Greatest Generation idea. The Greatest Generation begat the generation that is destroying our America (i.e., Mike Wallace).
You have a good point but it’s more complicated than that.
He was also smoking in the interview. Hurrah. I just believe Wallace liked turning the screws on someone. Not that he was not a big lib pro-abort.
That was a fairly good interview with follow-up questions and some pushing by Wallace; not an interview we’re likely to see today by any interviewer Left or Right. Sanger stood her ground for the most part until she started to deny saying things that she knew she said. Despite those observations, the end result of her movement should be judged by all today. The smooth talk and deception about womens’ health and social engineering were used as a means to end life electively. Mr. and Mrs. Obama use the same tactics.
Thanks for posting. I bookmarked the video.
The media people I saw in Vietnam were bearded & hippie looking. We were flying in & out of An Loc and stood down for a 1 hr break. They came along and started asking questions. Crewmen just stood & stared silently at them until they shrugged & went away.
It had sunk in that the media saw the North Vietnamese as the underdogs. Jane Fonda was in Hanoi that week IIRC.

My memory isn’t that sharp after 41 years but we had gotten off helicopters and for some reason they’d been allowed to approach us. It was around Camp Eagle, near Phu Bai. We were a bunch of grodie Grunts and an E-6 put his rifle barrel into the guys gut and made the comment to get out of our faces. We just gave them dirty looks and ignored their questions. The smell of us might have had something to do with them leaving us alone.
Yep, he was cut down in his prime.
Might have lived to cover the WW2 Centennial if it hadn’t been for those death sticks.
The last two or three generations of journalists have confused objectivity with moral neutrality in the face of evil. And so, they have given equal time to the Devil, as though he were presumably deserving of a rebuttal to God.
Actually Sanger made it into the big time back in the ‘20s when she won the support of the Rockefeller foundation and others. The Rich, aka, social darwinists, wanted to keep down the numbers of the unfit, which included blacks, and the mentally handicapped. She also suppirted the KKK which in the beginning was respectable middle-class organization that hated Jews, Catholics and Bolsheviks with equal intensity. Mrs Roosevelt was a supporter.
Even though we have her publications and know they contained stuff not unlike that of the Nazi publications on race, Planned Parenthood lies about their content and continue to man clinics in ethnic neighborhoods.
God bless the Infantry! My Dad was infantry from WWII through Vietnam. Guess that’s why I became a `real helicopter pilot’ (Hueys). We [229th AHB] flew you guys all over MR III and then brought hot food in marmite cans to wherever you were. Then came back to a cold water shower and tuck in the mosquito net until 0430 or so and do it all again. But we loved the `grunts’ for what it was you did.
I’m working on my anthology of hates about the late nonlamented Mike Wallace who would see GI’s killed just to get his story. More later.
Thanksgiving, 1971 was rainy and miserable out in the boonies and we thought we were socked in but you guys brought Thanksgiving Dinner to us. Yep, we had all the trimmings brought in in those Marmite Cans. We were impressed and very greatful. That was up in I Corp.
Thanks again after a lot of years.
Your Dad saw it all. God bless him.

All I can say about Mike Wallace is AMF.
He was one of the first elitist to come out of the closet as a “citizen of the world” with no loyalty to the US Republic and Americans.
Thanks. Dad passed away in 2003 then I got deployed. So much we could still talk about.
We got turkey & trimmings in the messhall on T-Day and there was even shrimp cocktail but the flies were so huge someone said they were trying to slingload the shrimp away only at least in Vietnam there wasnt that no-alcohol cr@p like in Enduring Freedom where some colonel actually told me it wasnt about health & welfare but so as not to offend the muslims.
If you were in I Corps they stood down the 101st in December 1971 and all their Huey pilots less than six months came south to us and the old guys deros’d. It was great, no new guys for months then they RIFd half of the pilots and then the NVA came across with tanks & APCs I guess old charlie read the Army Times too.
Mike Wallace said he wouldnt trip an enemy ambush because he was a journalist first and an American second (or fourth or fifth JMO) but if his s**t was in the wind and he was out there wounded he expected our guys to rescue him because “after all, I’m still a citizen”. He said this same thing first in RVN then in Afghanistan so he didnt learn anything over the years. Better not get started my wife isnt feeling well and I still need to call my Mom to say Happy Easter.
“We were winning when I left!”

That was us. We flew out of Cam Rahn Bay for “the world”.
Some of us got to go down to see Bob Hope near Saigon for Christmas.
