Yeah, at least he had integrity
Good vanity. You are absolutely correct.
Tim was one of the very few grown-ups in the Democrat MSM.
Tim was liberal, but I thought he was tough but fair. I wonder what he would think of the circus that journalism devolves into sometimes.
The liberals and their allies in the MSM went to Denver to report to us that great issues are before us. Issues of war and peace, prosperity for the middle class, education, health care, ad nausem. And we were told we live in troubled times, and this is a consequential election year.
Rather then reporting on the Republicans side of the issues, to allow us voters to compare and contrast these issues, instead we’re told that Sarah Palin’s daughter is prego, and how naughty is all of that, and what kind of mother is Sarah, and what experience does she really have, and what about the “heartbeat away” test for a vice-president, and just so much bull#$#$# is being talked about. I can’t believe how ugly it’s getting out there.
NBC won’t even carry the first half of Fred’s speech. This is crazy!!!!
Russert's interview of Bush back in 2004 was as crass as ever.
Between Campbell Brown, Anderson Cooper, Jeff Toobin, Keith Olbermann, these so called, “journalists” are demonstrating the most blatant liberal bias I have ever seen.
Someone tell Jeff Toobin that it is the Republican who have a woman on the ticket. And he forgot to mention that his boy, Biden is one of the “old white men” that he mentioned.
None? Surely you jest. Russert seemed to be a fairly nice guy, but he did not control the media or it would not be in the sad shape that it is today. Russert didn't die that long ago. The MSM has been rotten for at least a couple of decades, and Russert's employer is more than guilty than others.
Your contention simply doesn't ring true.
Just since this seems the best place to post, I just turned on FNC for a moment, and saw Greta intreviewing Lynn Swann. She just couldn’t get over the fact that he’s black, yet not voting for Obama. He finally had to tell her that Obama does not represent all black people.
The media is really disgusting.
Sorry, but Russert wasn’t anywhere nearly the saint you guys describe.
He let Scooter hang.
He told a Judge that he shouldn’t be called as a witness because he surely wouldn’t talk, yet he told the Judge that AFTER her ratted out sours to the FBI and all it took was an FBI agent (at least they said they were FBI) to call.
Russert was trained as a lawyer, yet when he asked Mr Plame if Mrs Plame was a “Covert Agent” as defined in the applicable law, Joey stalled and called Mrs. Plame a “national security asset” and let him slide even though it was an absolute bullcrap dodge of the question. Russert might as well have forced his tounge down Joey’s throat at point.
Sorry, guy’s dead, God rest his soul, but his PR was better than other journalists, not his integrity.
I liked Russert as many others. He was the head cheese of the news division and put all the players in place that we’re bitching about. He is responsible for setting the table for the mess that is MSNBC news(and NBC).
It seems there is no one at that organization willing to take the high road now that Russert is gone.
He hired most of these people.
He was Washington bureau chief.
Don’t kid yourself, Russert was always much tougher on Democrats than Republicans. I was never a fan of his, that’s for sure.
Agreed.
And BTW, I really wish Tony Snow was still around as well. He would be tons better as McCain’s press secretary.
Guess their both covering the story for Heaven TV.
Quit drinking the Russert Kool-Aid.
SORRY, but I challenge!!! Tim would have been attacking her just like the others, he was just another dirty democrat...GOD REST HIS SOUL
The MSM has now devolved to the level of the British tabloids. Fortunately, the better class of Americans gets its news from the Internet now, and isn’t paying any attention.
