[Fredslist] Fw: Tim Russert

[Lefkowitz, Steve]

I worked for Tim producing his show on CNBC for a couple of years some
time ago.  Tim was already tremendously respected when I began working
with him, but it was then, during the Lewinsky story, he really began to
explode in popularity.  

Tim as a journalist was second to none, he knew everybody.  Tim, from my
perspective, was an equally impressive man.  Warm, upbeat, kind, on top
of the story like no other.  This is a tremendous loss.

NBC's Tim Russert Dies
By KATHARINE Q. SEELYE
Tim Russert, the host of "Meet the Press," and NBC's Washington bureau
chief, has died. He was 58.
Mr. Russert was a towering figure in American journalism and moderated
several debates during the recent presidential primary season.
Tom Brokaw, the former anchor of NBC Nightly News, came on the air at
3:39
p.m. that Mr. Russert had collapsed and died early this afternoon while
at
work. He had just returned from Italy with his family.
Mr. Russert hailed from Buffalo and worked for two prominent New York
Democrats, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Gov. Mario Cuomo, before
being hired in 1984 by NBC in its Washington bureau. He became bureau
chief
four years later.
We will have more shortly.
