Remembering Russert

The thing about NBC News correspondent Tim Russert that made him so respected and popular, I believe, was that he knew what he was talking about. He nurtured valuable contacts, studied issues and delivered insider perspective and clarity of often-complex issues. 

In an industry largely dominated by pretty faces, glamour and talking heads, Russert distinguished himself with depth of intelligence.  He defined credibility.

Russert was a journalist’s journalist.  Clearly, he is missed.
