Adieu Mr. Russert
I could hardly believe the news when I heard venerable journalist Tim Russert, NBC's Washington Bureau Chief and Moderator of Meet the Press had died of a sudden heart attack. He will be missed.
From The New York Times:
Tim Russert, the host of "Meet the Press," and NBC's Washington bureau chief, has died. He was 58.
Mr. Russert was a towering figure in American journalism and moderated several debates during the recent presidential primary season.
Tom Brokaw, the former anchor of NBC Nightly News, came on the air at 3:39 p.m. and reported that Mr. Russert had collapsed and died early this afternoon while at work. He had just returned from Italy with his family.
