TimmySmith 2,782 Posted June 14, 2019 Perhaps the biggest journalist death of the Cyber age. Russert was left leaning, but smart and fair. He brought Meet the Press back from death. It was must watch and must be on if you were a pundit. What made his death even more significant was the fact that there was no real replacement. Jon Stewart was even interviewed. Chuck Todd assumed a role that he was and is unable to fill, and is part of reason the press is unable to fulfill their role as the protectors of our democracy. Russert's death was a huge loss to news. RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted June 14, 2019 Has it been 11 years? Wow - was always a fan. But I always got him and Statler mixed up, could never tell them apart. https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/440202360598433792/U2NE-u6G_400x400.jpeg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Russert's death was a huge loss to news. RIP. All true. A real newsman, who put his political leanings to the side. At least it appeared he did, which is the trick. These leftist hacks today can't seem to grasp that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
