MRC President and NewsBusters Publisher Brent Bozell has issued the following statement:
Whenever I’ve been asked to give examples of a fair, balanced and honest journalist, Tim Russert’s name was the first name that came to mind. This was a view shared by everyone and the ultimate testimony to his professionalism. As a moderator he was in a league of his own, always knowing when to speak and when to let his guests do the talking. As an individual he was an absolute class act, and always a gentleman. The world of journalism is vastly diminished today.
We must always have higher standards than those of the Daily Kos because we have a higher calling to a God who loves us and wants us to love back. But that does not mean we have to co-operate with evil,say abortion and homosexuality.
