NBC News is reporting that “Meet the Press” host Tim Russert died today of the heart attack while at work. Russert, 58, did not just host the highest rated Sunday TV talk show. He was a full-time working journalist and Washington bureau chief for NBC.
In an era where the American public is increasingly disillusioned with journalists of all media, Russert was widely respected for his tough but fair questions and unpartisan approach to his job. This death is a huge loss for a news empire that has added increasingly partisan talk shows to its line-up including MSNBC’s Keith Obermann and Chris Matthews.
