xpost Wait, I thought you never saw "The Insider," you doofus.
Anyway, I always wondered what Mike Wallace thought of a characterization that simultaneously lionized him as a journalistic badass and a cynical, self-interested sell-out.

I'm sure that, on balance, Clark contributed a lot to the history of pop. The one thing I always held against him was the way he emerged from the payola scandal of the early '60s untouched, while Alan Freed took the fall.
