TIM RUSSERT: JOURNALISTIC LOSS

I am shocked and saddened at the loss of Tim Russert.

58 is much too young to leave us.

Russert was the "standard" for all aspiring journalists. It will be days, weeks, perhaps years before we realize just how much Russert influenced television news.

There were many journalists before him, who captured the attention of the viewing audience, but this was his time.

Sundays were reserved for Meet The Press, and then you were allowed to carry on your day.

I only walked past him in NYC once a while ago, so I dont have a personal story to tell, but the news has affected everyone in the world of Politics, and thus, I expect to hear all my political friends express their shock as well.

58 is too young.
