Did Tim Russert influence you?

Question

I grew up watching Meet the Press and the news of Mr.Russert's death are shocking. I want to know if anyone else felt like they lost not just a celebrity but also someone who they could relate to.

Answer 1

Yes.  Unbelievably.  By just asking really good questions.  But not answering them.  It makes you think and draw conclusions.  So sad.

Answer 2

When I heard today the news about MR Russert I cried. I really respected him, not only as a newscaster but as a writer and just good guy. I met him at a book signing 2 years ago...then saw him at an airport last year, we talked about the upcoming campaigns and about his favorite Buffalo team....I feel like I lost a family member...GOD bless you Tim, and condolences to your family

Answer 3

I watched him a lot. He made politics easier to understand. Made me sad.

Meet the Press kicked a$$, I watched that show for a long time.  it's always sad when good people die young

Answer 5

he has not so much influenced me but he has made me proud to be from Buffalo because if someone like him can always have something good to say about Buffalo i guess i can see the good in the city the way he has
