Politics and the Media Will Never Be The Same

Tim Russert died suddenly yesterday. That news made me sad. I didn't know Mr. Russert personally. But nonetheless, the news of his death hit me. Why? I think it was because he, of all the TV news reporters and anchors and analysts and experts was, to me, the only one who was on point, stuck to his subject at hand, was objective and oh so knowledgeable about the politics that define our country. It was a pleasure watching and listening to him. He was no nonsense without agendas or spins. And from the reports on NBC and other networks, he was a devoted family man to his wife and son and father. RIP Mr. Russert.
