Tim Russert was a true Journalist - rest of the guys on tv and radios are basically a talking heads - agreed?

Question

Why good people die so young and some hate mongers talking heads lives on? God only taking the good people up in heaven - thats why Tim Russert is in heaven with god.

Answer 1

Agreed. He was a real class act and will be missed.

Answer 2

I agree. He really did his homework.

Answer 3

You couldn't have said it any better.  Tim will be sorely missed by all.  It is my thought that his talent to represent the politics of this country will probably be not replaced.  He was incredibly unique.  I certainly idolized his integrity and intelligence.  My prayer and thoughts are with his family and collegues.

Answer 4

I think there is such an interesting range of personalities on TV.  You can get someone who is sharp and smart to someone you wonder how did he or she ever get to be on TV???   Russert was a true gentleman and sharp, intelligent, insightful, and a great teacher.  It's interesting how he has regular guy attitude and came to the table with a law degree instead of a journalism degree.   I'll miss him. Sundays won't be the same.

Answer 5

Agreed, I live in Buffalo and go to the High School that he attended, I feel like I knew him, he will be missed, and my Sundays won't be the same anymore

Answer 6

No, not agreed.

Russert was a good and well respected journalist, however to say he was the only good one at the expense of all the others is folly, and ludicrous.

Answer 7

Russert was very good -- but NBC and its assiciated channels have a lot of talent with string credentials. Brian Williams, David Shuster and David Gregory come to mind.
