Oh, boy, while I didn't see Mike Wallace's interview with the Iranian president, I did read the transcript thanks to Joel Rosenberg's blog. It's pathetic. Wallace not only played softball, but let the pres of Iran (to a degree) control the interview. Simply pathetic. This wasn't real journalism...it was what gruel is to oatmeal...thin with no real substance. If this is what CBS News has become, I'm taking my eye off the big eye and going elsewhere, thank you. Joel Rosenberg is a smarter man, and more experienced than I am, so I leave it to him to outline the things Mr. Wallace ought to have asked. Personally? If I were Mike Wallace, I would have pinned the man down like a bug on a cork board. That's just me, though. Here's what Joel had to say.
