Tim Russert, the role mode of many, died on friday, June 13. Tim is the most trusted and powerful name in American political ournalism. A role model and hero to me will be missed greatly. It is such a loss for journalism, and such a sad day for the world.
Tim Russert was the Managing Editor and Moderator of “Meet the Press” and political analyst for “NBC Nightly News” and the “TODAY” program. He anchored “The Tim Russert Show,” a weekly interview program on MSNBC. Russert also served as senior vice president and Washington bureau chief of NBC News.
