Tim Russert Dies
Talk about a shocker. Tim Russert died today from a heart attack. He was 58.
As a life-long fan of ‘Meet the Press,’ it’s sad to even write that one of the great political journalists of the last 50 years is gone. I always loved the way he asked the hard questions, and verbalized what the pulse of the voting public was on the real issues.
What makes it sadder, is that many political journalists are being raised in a culture where celebrity notoriety and shouting style dominates how the messages are delivered. Partisan politics infiltrate real answers being sought and spoken to. Russert was above all of that.
And now he’s above it all.
