“Thanks to Wallace he becomes yet one more player in the Grand American Media game, right up there with Oprah, Madonna and O’Reilly. Disgusting.”

sweet.

All we need do is replace Gen. ‘Buck’ Turgidson (George C. Scott) with ‘President’ Ahmadinejad acting out in his own war room, swooping down, like the hidden iman, over the zionists and their puppet master, the Great Satin, delivering the believers to pardise and the infidels to eternal torment.

I am not a fan of O’reilly’s but at least he has guests on who disagree with him. A better example would be Keith Olbermann who never, ever has a guest on whom he disagrees with.

During his decades on 60 Minutes, one could always count on Mike Wallace to at least once a year have an Israel bashing segment. Morley Safer, liberal though he was, usually was sympathetic to Israel.

Send Wallace a copy of the film “Obsession” cause everyone knows the Hollywood Gatekeepers make sure it can never be shown.

I’m not justifying Wallace’s remarks or his lack of journalistic instincts. (I guess we should wait for the broadcast to see if he confronts Ahmadinejad like he would Bush or Blair.)
But I think you nailed it down with “in a monumental act of narcissism”.
I don’t think Wallace is anti-Semitic, but he was clearly willing to kowtow to his anti-Semitic audience with “the Zionist state” remark. It is accurate, but who else but anti-Semitics(?) refer to Israel that way.
Back to Roger’s remark, this is all about Wallce’s ego. Ahmadinejad stroked it and Wallace responded like a dog having its stomach rubbed. What a sad, pathetic performance, both for CBS and Wallace.

You’ve said it all.

Thanks to Wallace he becomes yet one more player in the Grand American Media game, right up there with Oprah, Madonna and O’Reilly.
