"Wallace considered himself a political moderate. He was friends with Nancy Reagan and her family for over 75 years.[32] Nixon wanted him for his press secretary. Fox News said, "He didn't fit the stereotype of the Eastern liberal journalist."

"They think they're wide-eyed commies; liberals," Mike replied, a notion he dismissed as "damned foolishness."[33]" From Wikipedia
