      "Not influenced by money" you forgot the millions this bozo and his boss were about to make (in the 80's btw, which is really tens of millions when adjusted for inflation). The coverup is 100 times worse than the crime. This scene shows the greed and lies in full view. 60 Minutes might as well be making cigarettes at this point.

      Remember that this is a movie and not inherently 100 percent accurate. Wallace himself thoroughly refuted his portrayal in The Insider, saying he was in support of airing Wigand's interview unadulterated. All that said, this is still a fantastic scene on the issue of journalistic integrity, subject matter aside.

Then they lied about it under oath in a court of law. That's what the Wigand interview was getting at, and why B&W was attacking him and trying to manipulate CBS into not airing the interview.

Some scenes were really intriguing in this film, this was my first film with Al Pacino, but I'm not really into gangster movies, so his most famous ones, which includes Scarface, I'll probably skip, sorry folks.
