'''Myron Leon "Mike" Wallace''' (May 9, 1918 – April 7, 2012) was a news broadcaster and media personality, whose main claim to fame was being an ambush journalist on [[CBS]] and later hosting [[60 Minutes]]. He is also the father of [[Fox News]] correspondent [[Chris Wallace]].
Mike Wallace was also among those in journalism who gradually transformed it into the liberal-biased institution of today. Infamously, during a 1987 televised debate for Orders under Fire episodes for the series Ethics in America, Mike Wallace chastised ABC reporter [[Peter Jennings]] for deciding to try and warn the Americans that they were walking into an ambush while implying that he felt it was just another story to cover, and when asked whether he felt he had a higher duty than the journalistic ethic of reporting facts by Charles Ogletree, he flatly stated with no hesitation that he had no higher duty as he was a reporter and thus should report facts.<ref>http://marine-family.org/cowards/mike_wallace.htm</ref>
