- jmhyer51, on 06/13/2008, -44/+566Nice guys always die first. Bill O'Reilly will live to be 120.
- 09f91102, on 06/13/2008, -7/+504It is especially sad that Big Russ has outlived his son.
- inactive, on 06/13/2008, -5/+304He was one of the few good ones. Too bad.
- darthzaphod, on 06/13/2008, -19/+250How does Matt Drudge get this stuff so early? CNN, MSNBC, Fox News...nobody else has it up yet.
- acirilo, on 06/13/2008, -24/+244very sad. One of the few hard FAIR interviewers! Go with God.
- markross, on 06/13/2008, -18/+229His recent, headline-making proclamation of Obama as the democratic nominee:

He seemed to really appreciate seeing history being made. - jonnyboy88, on 06/13/2008, -2/+206It's a shame he won't be around to cover the election. I always enjoyed his analysis. RIP.
- gsadamb, on 06/13/2008, -4/+198Damn, that's so sad. Russert, and Meet the Press were so influential, and Russert was so likable.
- peaceninja, on 06/13/2008, -5/+192RIP Tim Russert, he was an excellent newscaster and always asked the right questions. The remainder of this election will miss him sorely.
- villainousT, on 06/13/2008, -7/+179This is unfortunate to hear, I enjoyed waking up to meet the press on Sunday mornings.
Sad day ; - falstaff, on 06/13/2008, -2/+118Always thought of him as being pretty fair to all parties, despite his background. Definitely leaves a huge hole in political analysis.
- Qba73, on 06/13/2008, -5/+113This is a complete shock, he was the only one of the news bunch i enjoyed watching and listening to...RIP
Goes to show how one minute your here and the next you could be gone. - CaliforniaEagle, on 06/13/2008, -18/+121I just graduated with his son from Boston College. Holy *****!
- TremorX, on 06/13/2008, -9/+111Bill O'Reilly made a pact with the devil, he will never die
- inboxnews, on 06/13/2008, -4/+97"How does Matt Drudge get this stuff so early? CNN, MSNBC, Fox News...nobody else has it up yet."
Which is exactly why his site is so popular. - SAc0balt, on 06/13/2008, -59/+149And yet Bill O'Reilly lives on. What a shame.
- pjpark, on 06/13/2008, -0/+86"Sources said the network allowed itself to be scooped by other media outlets as it tried to contact Russert's wife Maureen and son Luke, who just graduated from Boston College."
- dd240sx, on 06/13/2008, -6/+87unbelievable what a shock i have just seen it on TV. Meet the Press will never be the same he will be missed RIP Tim Russert
- tvcity, on 06/13/2008, -6/+83Watching the campaign unfold just won't be the same.
To a man who fought the good fight, we'll miss you. - lorductape, on 06/13/2008, -2/+78I was lucky enough to be in the live studio audience on meet the press just a couple of weeks ago, met, shook hands with, and got a photo with Tim Russert http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/3523/n654899342 ...
He's such a cheerful and friendly guy, and will be missed greatly. - Maratanos, on 06/13/2008, -8/+83Dude, that's tasteless.
- inactive, on 06/13/2008, -5/+72Meet The Press has been my favorite Sunday Morning Talk show for a while. Russert's ambush style interviews are legendary. He will be sorely missed.
- inactive, on 06/13/2008, -8/+72holy ***** :(
R.I.P - totaldepravity, on 06/13/2008, -4/+65I'm shocked. I really enjoyed watching him
- eschompthis, on 06/13/2008, -1/+59his friend said he was going through the worst time of his life watching his fathers health deteriorate. He loved his dad so much it made him ill
- MrTito, on 06/13/2008, -6/+63This is a sad day. Tim Russert was a genuine class act and no one can fill his shoes. A legend is lost. Rest in peace.
- IDIGTHEDIGG, on 06/13/2008, -8/+64Wow he was only 58 to... RIP
- shondell, on 06/13/2008, -0/+55It's so strange how we take for granted the lives of people. We always just expect some people to be there everyday for us, but when they pass away, it's always shocking and unexpected. Like when Steve Irwin passed, for some reason I was feeling really depressed about it although I never really watched much of his programs or anything else he does. But after his death, I felt like I needed to find out everything I could about his life. I know it's hard to appreciate people when they are alive but with death, we should all have a feeling of appreciation of our own lives.
- Scoopology, on 06/13/2008, -8/+63there goes my sunday mornings.
- PrismoFillusion, on 06/13/2008, -0/+54Did anyone else catch Andrea Mitchell holding back tears on MSNBC?
Heartbreaking... - RSS14, on 06/13/2008, -6/+58RIP sir, you will be remembered.
- Shao00, on 06/13/2008, -7/+58so sad........he was one of the few real journalists
- Dragular, on 06/13/2008, -1/+51I think if someone came up to me and said that a co-worker, or even just a highly respected person within my company, had died, my immediate thought wouldn't be to blog it, even if that was my job. It's a shock to everyone, but I would imagine those working with him would have been delayed just a bit more.
- 0ceanic, on 06/13/2008, -8/+57everyone knew, but waited to report it until his family was notified.
drudge didnt care. - toolsdrummer, on 06/13/2008, -1/+50"Sources said the network allowed itself to be scooped by other media outlets as it tried to contact Russert's wife Maureen and son Luke, who just graduated from Boston College."
http://www.nypost.com/seven/06132008/news/national ... - ElGanyan, on 06/13/2008, -0/+46Well that's quite admirable.
- Inflammo, on 06/13/2008, -7/+52Thoughts and prayers to the Russert family.
via Drudge, Russert's final interview: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25137286/ - ShellShock11, on 06/13/2008, -0/+45MSNBC wasn't in a rush to get the news out. They wanted to plan a respectful broadcast and get all of the right people in there to talk about him. Matt Drudge simply needs to tell people that it happened.
- Midtowner, on 06/13/2008, -8/+52Dugg for having a fine Catholic education.
- MysticSavage, on 06/13/2008, -4/+48I was about to say Satan takes care of his own.
Who am I kidding, Satan worships O'Reilly. - schneb, on 06/13/2008, -0/+42I agree, he was pretty even handed. He will be missed.
- CalamariAce, on 06/13/2008, -0/+42One of the few who actually deserved to be called a journalist. A sad and terrible loss.
- reuscel, on 06/13/2008, -5/+40Absolutely tragic. "Meet the Press" was one thing I really looked forward to on Sunday mornings. I hope his replacement is as classy and intelligent as Tim was. Rest in peace, Tim.
- sims1033, on 06/13/2008, -0/+34The network waited until his family was notified.
- mysedai, on 06/13/2008, -2/+36Big Russ is still alive? That's news to me and Terry McCauliff.
Seriously, though, the loss of Tim Russert is tragic and very sad. - Drakk0n, on 06/13/2008, -4/+38I thought the pact was with Cheney? ohhhhhh wait....
- Crosshare, on 06/13/2008, -2/+36I think everyone should raise their glass and give Tim one last "Go Bills!"
- rald84, on 06/13/2008, -1/+35you'd think MSNBC would beat him to it since thats where it happened.
- Pillage, on 06/13/2008, -2/+34It's amazing that you use the death of Russert to promote an attack on Fox. Have you no shame?
