I agree. 

For one of my political science classes, we had to watch Meet the Press and talk about it the next day in class and I watched every Sunday for the entire semester and I found myself getting up at 9am to watch the show even after the semester ended.

Tim Russert is a piece of shit IMO just like every other new reportor. They dont give a fuck about us or our families, they are not good people and they try to manipulate what we think. I can't blame them though since that is their job and they are being forced to do it by the people in much, much higher positions.

It's not really up for debate.  You don't get paid to moderate other great minds for so many years because you are an average individual.

I'm saying it takes more than intelligence to moderate, it takes people skills.  Hell, you know how reporters and other media personalities can be.

you keep talking about him in the present. You do realize he died Friday, right?

I made a post about this on friday right before I left to see Yonder Mountain. Russert was my favorite of the sunday morning shows, and I had great respect for him. Which is a lot to say, because like Atheist I am generally pretty critical of most of the people in television 'news' today.

Meet the press was around before tim though, right? I'm not old enough to remember who was the moderator before him, and I only wonder who they will get to replace him.

A Video put together by the BBC about what made Tim great. Of course some will disagree with it, but I think it was still nice to watch.

from wikipedia

The show was originally presented as a 30-minute press conference with a single guest and a panel of questioners. Its first hostess was its creator Martha Rountree, to date the program's only female moderator. She stepped down November 1, 1953, and was replaced by Ned Brooks, who remained as moderator until December 26, 1965. Spivak became moderator January 1, 1966, moving from his role as permanent panelist. He retired November 9, 1975, and was replaced by Bill Monroe, who stepped down June 2, 1984.

The program then went through a series of hosts as it struggled in the ratings against ABC's This Week with David Brinkley Roger Mudd and Marvin Kalb followed Monroe for a year, followed by Chris Wallace in 1987 and 1988, and Garrick Utley from 1989 through December 1, 1991.

Network officials, concerned for the show's future, turned to Tim Russert, the network's Washington bureau chief. He took over December 8, 1991, and remained until his death on June 13, 2008, serving as moderator longer than anyone in the program's history. [3] Under Russert, the show was expanded to one hour, and became less of a televised press conference and more focused on Russert, with longer interviews and Russert hosting panels of experts.

Why? Because he was a part of the media?

What do you know about the man other than that he was on meet the press?

Of justice can rise up

And hope and history rhyme.

My first thought was this panicky feeling that consisted of, "OMG, are they going to cancel Meet the Press?".

And I saw Tom Brokaw cry today on tv. How weird was that.
