RIP, Tim Russert.
I haven't been in a position to watch Meet the Press over here in the UK for that long but it was a very worthwhile program and ensured the audience had not had an interview choking in fluff. He was revolutionary in trying almost obvious things and by all accounts was decent, instinctively neutral and open minded (ideal for a journalist) and very human.
A giant in the political scene in Washington, it is a very sad event and I don't think Meet the Press will ever be the same again.
