There's a lot of people on cable news that yell at each other like a bunch of poo-flinging monkeys, but
Tim Russert was the real deal.
Behind the scenes, Mr. Russert’s colleagues at NBC News soon learned that he had a gift for making the most complex political machinations understandable and compelling.
I always thought his broadcasts were like talking to someone smarter than you that was trying to explain something to you while not talking down to you. The soulless humanoids on FoxNews and CNN could learn a lot from Russert.
