The last media member who had balls and could upset people was Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes and he is retired. It's a pity, I miss that guy.

I remember John Stossel having balls when he called out Donald Trump to his face by claiming he was trying to use eminent domain to move a lady's house so he could build next to his casino.

Bryant Gumbel has also called out celebrities but it's rare.

I think it may be more accurate to say, no politician ever answers a hardball question.

Seriously, this is like demanding the Weekend Update anchors on Saturday Night Live to report the news in an unbiased manner.

Even Colbert is now being discussed as if he is a host of a serious news program. This forum continues to demonstrate Social Darwinism. Just when I thought people on this forum couldn't be more stupid.....

Wait a minute, there are people that consider Hannity a serious journalist.
