Somehow I got the drift Tim was bias, especially on June 6th when he just couldn’t wait to announce Obama as the winner, before the process was finished?? Ironic one lady commented the same thing that day, plus she thought he looked ashy gray and maybe should go get checked out. She mentioned that to her boyfriend while watching him on TV, as she had someone die of a heart attack – just prior they looked that gray color. No doubt it was sad for him to die. One friend said they thought they were going to declare a National Holiday over the guy, and she thought by the fact of working on MSNBC he was very bias. So just an observation, not to be critical. Russett was a good reporter, but a lot of others are too. Granted it was bad timing. however isn’t any death?

Tim Russert was fair, dedicated, and professional.

To all those who knew him (and I’ve met him twice) his loss is significant in a county ever-fuller of journalists who favor partiality over impartiality.

See ya ’round Tim. Job well don.

Tim Russert RIP

Tim Russert passes while preparing final voiceovers for weekend edition of MTP.

This was quite a shocker to learn. He’d just published an article this AM about need of media to be careful with fact checking when covering the campaign.
