RIP Tim Russert

[Bengal]

Sad day in my field today. Tim Russert died today in NBC Stuidos doing what he loved, working. This man is the benchmark of class and journalism. His work on Meet The Press was second to none. The guy was as generous as he was humble. And he did excellent work. I will miss him personally and the world will miss his work.

RIP Tim. You did good.

I was actually taken aback when I saw that news blurb. Russert was one of the best and it is a sad loss for sure. RIP

He was the best in his field by far, and the standard to aspire to. This made me very sad to hear. R.I.P Tim and thank you for your service to the nation. There's no doubt you served us very well.

He was for sure the KING of sunday talk. I will miss him terribly.

The best to his family.

Bad news.
Sad day.
Great human being, son, and father.
"Fair and balanced" (using the definition of that phrase, back when it used to mean something)

Shocked me when I heard it in the car. Very sad indeed.
RIP

I just saw the mini-Tribute on NBC. Yes, it's sad day. I though he was really researched on his interviews. He had a tremendous head on his shoulders. I also knew he was a great family man! RIP Tim.

I started a thread in the wrong area, in a rush.
He worked on the opposite side of the aisle, but he was truly a journalist,
as opposed to the common talking heads so common today.
A great man, and a tragic loss.
Let us all learn from his patience, and his ever beaming smile!

RIP! You will be missed greatly.

One of the last fair interviewers.

Truly sad to hear.

RIP
