Broussard, who did not identify the man by name at the time, broke down in tears as he related the story. As the Meet the Press transcript shows, Russert paused the interview to allow Broussard to compose himself.

Good Theatre, and I thought Russert was in the news business.

He never fooled me.

And, it all depends upon what the meaning of "news" is.
