Tim Russert

[EDITThor]

I don't know if any of you know, or care for that matter, but Tim Russert (NBC News Chief Political Analyst) died today of a fatal heart attack.

He's one of the few journalists that many folks really look up to, and I personally have a lot of respect for him.

My condolences go out to his family.

I heard that! Crazy, I just saw him doing an interview the other day. It's sad how something like that can happen that fast!

He wasn't old at all--only 58. Dangerdad sent me a note at work. Honestly, in an era when most journalists have really become commentators while still pretending to be neutral, Tim Russert was one of the last old school--he wasn't afraid to ask hard questions to politicians on either side of the spectrum, and he tried not to show any bias. I really respected him.

I was shocked when I heard the news, IMO Tim Russert was an example to all journalists, I am not saying this because his is dead, I really liked his professional style.

He will be missed.

Agreed, I can't think of one other news journalist who comes close to his integrity. It's truly a loss for us all.

Condolences to his family and freinds.
