I am truly saddened to hear about the death of Tim Russert today at the age of 58.  You'll see the Meet The Press feed in my blogroll.  I watched MTP every Monday during lunch.  Russert in interviews and during the Sunday broadcast showed himself to be a man of skill, intelligence, and most of all genuine integrity.  In a media landscape of extremes with Fox News and CNN as bookends he kept his personal opinions to himself and interviewed each guest thoroughly and impartiality.  I trusted him.  We have all lost one of the last true journalist.  He cannot be replaced, and his untimely death, particularly in this election season, is a great loss.
