Tim Russert - we’ll miss you
June 13th, 2008 . by Marty
Loyal readers know that we’ve taken umbrage with NBC in the past, but when I heard the news today about the passing of Lil’ Russ, I was deeply saddened. Tim was a tower in the Washington journalism/political scene, and with his invigoration of “Meet the Press” in 1991, he set the stage for a new breed of talk show in Washington: Where insightful questions, diligent research and informed guests would dominate. He brought out the best - and sometimes - the worst in his guests. Be they politicians or pundits, Tim always kept us on our toes. Rest in peace, Tim.
