    They just showed a clip on 11 news of him arguing with Mike Wallace over
    some story so Don said to him that he wouldn't be on 60 minutes that week.

    Wow, that guy was one tough son of a gun.

    R.I.P. Don, you news genius you.

    RIP Don Hewitt

    Prior to the internet 60 Minutes was the only place you could find out the truth about somethings not in the regular media.

    I really like all the ones fashioned after it too, like 20/20, 48 Hours, 48 Hours Mystery, etc.

    Not another outstanding News legend, too? There's almost nobody left to shame the shills we have for News Media now.

    RIP Don.
