I agree that its overblown. The way I look at it is if someone at my workplace died, things would come to a screeching halt for the rest of the day. The difference when it happens in the media is that they have cameras. It’s tiresoome, but completely predictable, and it’s not going to change. You can get worked up over it, or watch another channel until it blows over.

Even Drudge has Russert as the top story and has yet to link to stories on the major earthquake in Japan where many people have lost their lives.

Prayers for them all, Russert’s family and the Japanese people.

A very reasonable explanation. Thanks.
