Russert
Didn’t know the man. Knew his work.
Fair and balanced is what he arrived at a result of an ethical pursuit of the truth. “Fair and balanced” as a shallow lip service slogan is a sad irony and a poor reflection of our American culture. His not being here to ask the questions he’d ask, in the manner and sequence he’d ask them, remaining both civil and tenacious while methodically peeling the layers off the onion, will let many a candidate off many a hook, this year and in the years to come.
Others who knew him will mourn the man. I’m saddened that big decisions, made by and affecting hundreds of millions of people, will have to be made without his inquisitiveness and input.
Rest in peace, Mr. Russert. And this Sunday morning, if you’re so inclined, ask God, if there is one, why.

LK is 100% correct again. Who will pick up the torch that has so suddenly been dropped as a result of the untimely passing of such an honest, unbiased, intelligent, man of integrity? If there is a member of the press listening, do you have the courage to veer from the will of the signatory of your paycheck, to inquire and report for the good of the many as opposed to the desires of a few? Such is the challenge left by the absence of Tim Russert.
