A Brief Homage
In this age of the talking heads in the media being at their worst--whether it is acquiescing to corporate mandated bias, or vile behaviour as depicted on Fox News, Tim Russert stood out as a professional with integrity. But he still asked the hard question and insisted on answers instead of the political tap dance that usually happens during interviews. He had honor, and he had backbone.
Besides his family and friends missing him terribly, what really sucks is that he's going to miss out on the presidential election. He enjoyed the exciting primary races and was looking forward to this historic run for commander in chief.
The relatively small numbers of American viewers that sought out such shows as Meet the Press will miss him and his work too.
